SKS & Assoc., Inc. v. Dart, 09-3461
In plaintiff-residential rental property owner's 42 U.S.C. section 1983 suit against a judge and a sheriff, claiming that the judge's general order directing the sheriff not to carry out residential evictions during particular winter weeks violated its federal constitutional rights, district court's dismissal of the suit is affirmed where: 1) based on the same principles of equity, comity, and federalism that are the foundation of Younger abstention, abstention is required in this case; and 2) to the extent that delays in state court processes adversely affect plaintiff, it can and must seek remedies through the state courts themselves.
