United States Ninth Circuit

Younger v. Harris, 401 U.S. 37 (1971), principles apply to actions at law as well as for injunctive or declaratory relief where a determination that a federal plaintiff's constitutional rights have been violated would have the same practical effect as a declaration or injunction pending state proceedings.
