(1) the commencement or continuation of a criminal proceeding against the respondent;
(2) the commencement or continuation of an action or proceeding by a governmental unit to enforce its police or regulatory power;
(3) the enforcement of a judgment, other than a money judgment, obtained in an action or proceeding by a governmental unit to enforce its police or regulatory power, or with respect to any licensure of the respondent;
