MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Sullivan v. Nassau Cnty. Interim Fin. Auth., 959 F.3d 54 (2nd Cir. 2020):
We, however, held that the state-law issue that the district court had decided was a novel one that should have first been decided by the state courts. And so, we vacated and remanded the district courts decision. See Carver v. NIFA , 730 F.3d 150, 15556 (2d Cir. 2013).
