MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Valdivia v. Brown, 956 F.Supp.2d 1125 (E.D. Cal. 2013):
Plaintiffs argue at length that the court misapprehended the abstention doctrine set forth in Younger v. Harris, 401 U.S. 37, 91 S.Ct. 746, 27 L.Ed.2d 669 (1971) and its progeny, and argue for reconsideration on the grounds that abstention doctrines do not provide a basis for dismissal herein.
