   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  16-1968
   U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota - Minneapolis   
   [PUBLISHED] [Colloton, Author, with Loken and Kelly, Circuit Judges] 
   Civil case - Fraud. In action alleging fraud in connection with the Thomas 
   Petters Ponzi scheme, the district court did not err in abstaining based 
   on its conclusion that the action was duplicative of those ongoing in 
   pending bankruptcy proceedings; while the district court was within its 
   discretion to abstain, it should have stayed the claims rather than 
   dismiss them as the two cases were not identical actions involving 
   identical parties.
