How courts have described this case

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

• holding that a district court may not “cherry pick” claims in a declaratory judgment ac- tion but remaining silent on whether a district court must explicitly consider all Ameritas factors
• explaining that an inquiry under Ameritas functions as a “totality-of-the-circumstances analysis” in which a Court must “capture the breadth of the competing interests” and “properly balance them”
• discussing the preservation of “the States’ interests in resolving issues of state law in their own courts”
• noting the “valuable role” declaratory judgments play in “clarifying insurance companies’ liability quickly and directly” and instructing the district court on remand to consider “efficiency interests in the balance against [] federalism and comity interests”
• “Nor does anything in the Act prevent a state court defendant from bringing a federal declaratory judgment suit.”
