Jonathan Joseph Terry, 5:20CR50021-001, Western District of Arkansas, Fayetteville Division. 2 Had the warrant not been withdrawn, it would have been recommended that the District Court abstain pursuant to Younger v. Harris, 401 U.S. 37 (1971), where “the Supreme Court held that, consistent with our nation’s commitment to the principles of comity and federalism, a federal court should abstain from exercising jurisdiction in cases where there is a parallel, pending state criminal proceeding, so long as certain conditions are met.” Minnesota Living Assistance, Inc. v. Peterson, 899 F.3d 548, 551 (8th Cir. 2018). The Court should abstain from hearing a case when “(1) there is an ongoing state judicial proceeding which (2) implicates important state interests, and when (3) that proceeding affords an adequate opportunity to raise the federal questions presented.” Norwood v. Dickey, 409 F.3d 901, 903 (8th Cir. 2005) (citing Fuller v. Ulland, 76 F.3d 957, 959 (8th Cir. 1996)).
