- absence of complex state law question that would best be resolved by the state court weighs against dismissal
- “Only in rare circumstances will the presence of a state[-]law issue weigh in favor of dismissal. This action does not present such rare circumstances; it does not involve complex questions of state law that would best be resolved by a state court.”
