• concluding that a six-month delay from the filing of an action in state court to the filing of a federal action was a “lengthy delay,” which “frustrated efficiency concerns and weighed in favor of abstention”
• finding the plaintiff’s “delay in filing their motion with this Court, coupled with the fact that the state court was already considering what must be an identical motion to compel, provides a strong basis for abstention.”
