123853P.pdf   05/21/2013  Gerald Geier  v.  Missouri Ethics Commission
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  12-3853
   U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri - Jefferson City   
   [PUBLISHED] [Shepherd, Author, with Colloton, Circuit Judge, and
   Rose, District Judge]
   Civil case - Injunctions. Where the Missouri Ethics Commission had
   brought an enforcement action against plaintiff and a political action
   committee for failure to file ongoing reports and other documentation, the
   district court did not err in abstaining from plaintiffs' injunction action on
   the ground the state proceedings, through the administrative and appellate
   process, provided an adequate forum for plaintiffs to raise constitutional
   issues; district court did not err in denying plaintiffs' motion to amend
   their complaint as the matter had been dismissed; even if the action had
   not been completely dismissed, any error in denying the motion to amend
   was harmless as the proposed amendment was futile.
