UNDER SEAL, Plaintiff - Appellant, v. VIRGINIA BOARD OF MEDICINE, Agency of Virginia Department of Health Professions, Defendant - Appellee.
Appellant Under Seal appeals the district court's order abstaining from and dismissing Appellant's civil action seeking equitable relief in an ongoing state proceeding pursuant to Younger v. Harris, 401 U.S. 37, 91 S.Ct. 746, 27 L.Ed.2d 669 (1971); Huffman v. Pursue, Ltd., 420 U.S. 592, 95 S.Ct. 1200, 43 L.Ed.2d 482 (1975). We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm the district court's order. See Ohio Civil Rights Comm'n v. Dayton Christian Sch., Inc., 477 U.S. 619, 625-29, 106 S.Ct. 2718, 91 L.Ed.2d 512 (1986); Middlesex Cnty. Ethics Comm. v. Garden State Bar Ass'n, 457 U.S. 423, 431-37, 102 S.Ct. 2515, 73 L.Ed.2d 116 (1982); Robinson v. Thomas, 855 F.3d 278, 285-86 (4th Cir. 2017); Nivens v. Gilchrist, 444 F.3d 237, 246-48 (4th Cir. 2006). We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before this court and argument would not aid the decisional process.
AFFIRMED
PER CURIAM:
Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
