What is the test for a federal district court to determine whether a state court or federal court has jurisdiction to rule on a federal Railroad Commission case?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Spokane Arcades, Inc. v. Brockett, 631 F.2d 135 (9th Cir. 1980):
Appellants contend that under Railroad Commission v. Pullman Co., 312 U.S. 496, 61 S.Ct. 643, 85 L.Ed. 971 (1941), the district court should have abstained from deciding this case so as to allow state courts the first opportunity to construe the statutory provisions. We disagree. The district court correctly held that Pullman abstention would be inappropriate.
