   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  08-1160
   U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri - St. Louis   
   [PUBLISHED] [Murphy, Author, with Bye and Shepherd, Circuit Judges]
   Civil case - International Child Abduction Remedies Act. Because
   neither parent filed a Hague petition in the state court proceedings, the
   Hague Convention issues were not properly or fully raised in that
   proceeding; in the absence of a Hague petition the state court proceedings
   did not present an adequate opportunity to litigate the International Child
   Abduction Remedies Act issues in the matter, and the district court erred
   in abstaining; case remanded for determination of the merits of the issues
   raised in plaintiff's Hague Convention petition.
