The following excerpt is from Bettencourt v. McCabe, Case No. 1:17-cv-00646-DAD-SAB (E.D. Cal. 2017):
exhausted before federal court intervention is permitted. Dubinka, 23 F.3d at 223 (even if criminal trials were completed at time of abstention decision, state court proceedings are still considered pending). When Younger doctrine applies to claims for injunctive or declaratory relief, the court must dismiss the claims. See Gilbertson v. Albright, 381 F.3d 965, 981 (9th Cir. 2004).4
