How courts have described this case

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

concluding that abstention was proper in part because the Commonwealth’s action was well into discovery while the federal action had foundered on jurisdictional questions
holding that the Puerto Rico forum is just as convenient as the federal forum
concluding that the eighth factor, respect for removal principles, was irrelevant where the plaintiff had filed a federal action before filing an action in the court of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico
finding that the inclusion of distinct parties in the parallel proceedings created a potential for “fragmented adjudication, to be distinguished from merely duplicative adjudication”
determining that unsettled Puerto Rico law governing the parallel disputes counseled in favor of abstention
noting “absence of any federal proceedings beyond a motion to dismiss favors the surrender of jurisdiction”
