   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  04-2633
   Eastern District of Arkansas   
   [PUBLISHED] [Wollman, Author, with Hansen and Benton, Circuit Judges]
Civil Case - declaratory judgment. District court's grant of abstention in federal declaratory judgment action filed by insurer is reversed. Because state court and federal action were not parallel, broad discretion for exercising declaratory judgment jurisdiction is not present. Court adopts Fourth Circuit's 6-factor test. Applying the test here, the district court abused its discretion in dismissing the declaratory judgment action.
