Richard Reiman v. Bromley Smith Kimberly H. Smith Intercon Financial, Inc. And Ifmd Corp.

How courts have described this case

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

• observing that “if this is indeed an action ‘merely’ to enforce a judgment [of the D.C. Superior Court], then that might also tend to justify abstention”
• noting that a factor favoring deferral was that \the suit had been before the District of Columbia courts for a long time\ -- seven years -- but holding that the district court had failed to adequately justify deferral and remanding for further consideration
• pointing out that the district court’s mere citation of its concern with the avoidance of piecemeal litigation without balancing the factors in favor of dismissal against its obligation to exercise jurisdiction is insufficient to justify a stay or dismissal
