Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.
- finding no disruption where the federal action merely addressed liability for the condition of the property at issue
- distinguishing Space Age and others on issue of Burford abstention because those cases required courts to review state process of permit issuance, to review decisions made by state agencies, or to interfere with state enforcement actions
- rejecting Burford abstention for CERCLA claims and finding, inter alia, no conflict with state’s ability to develop coherent policy because although complex regulatory scheme existed in environmental matters, case addressed only liability for condition of property at issue
