American Trial Lawyers Association, New Jersey Branch v. New Jersey Supreme Court
Supreme Court of the United States
American Trial Lawyers Assn., New Jersey Branch, et al. v. New Jersey Supreme Court
Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey
No. 72-691. Argued: N/A --- Decided: January 15, 1973
In abstaining so as to permit a state court to pass on an issue of state law, a district court should retain jurisdiction pending the state proceeding so that appellants may preserve their right to litigate their federal claims in federal courts at the conclusion of the state proceeding.
Vacated and remanded.
PER CURIAM.
