032825P.pdf   02/03/2004  Jeffrey S. Aaron  v.  City of St. Louis MO
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  03-2825
                          and No:  03-2827
   Eastern District of Missouri   
   Civil Case - civil rights; abstention. District court's grant of 
   preliminary injunction enjoining state eminent domain proceedings is 
   reversed, as the factors for federal abstention were satisfied and there was 
   insufficient evidence to support the bad faith exception to the Younger 
   doctrine. The district court thus abused its discretion in not abstaining 
   and in exercising jurisdiction. [PUBLISHED] [Murphy, author]
