How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• finding that state and federal cases \each contest[ing] a different aspect\ of a zoning variance were not parallel
• finding no parallelism in part because the parties in the state and federal case differed
• finding Colorado River abstention inappropriate because the plaintiffs and issues were different between the federal and state proceedings
• reviewing de novo district court’s grant of a motion to dismiss on the basis of Colorado River abstention doctrine
• “The issue is whether the state court proceeding, as it currently exists, is a parallel, state-court proceeding.” (quotation and alteration omitted)
• the two lawsuits were not “parallel,” where they involved different kinds of relief
