Civil case - Telecommunications. Where Sprint filed a federal law suit to determine whether the Iowa Utility Board erred in ordering Sprint to pay certain VoIP access charges and a state court suit asserting, among other things, that the Board's order was preempted by federal law, the district court did not err in deciding it should abstain pursuant to Younger v. Harris, 401 U.S. 37 (1971); however, the district court erred in dismissing the action and the dismissal is vacated and the case remanded with direction to stay the proceedings.
