  • finding that the plaintiff “must present more than mere allegations and conclusions” to establish her entitlement to a Younger doctrine exception
  • stating that mere allegations of bad faith without supporting facts are insufficient to trigger Younger bad faith exception
  • explaining that a plaintiff “must present more than mere allegations and conclusions”
  • rejecting argument that plaintiff’s mere allegations of bias and bad faith had to be construed in her favor to establish a bad faith exception
  • dismissing action against the Supreme Court of Indiana and the Disciplinary Commission of the Supreme Court of Indiana because they were barred from suit by the Eleventh Amendment
