See Sullivan, 811 F.2d at 179, citing Kugler v. Helfant, 421 U.S. 117, 124-25 , 95 S.Ct. 1524, 1530-31 , 44 L.Ed.2d 15 (1975); Mitchum v.

“The very purpose of § 1983 was to interpose the federal courts between the States and the peo- ple, as guardians of the people’s federal rights—to protect the people from unconstitutional action under color of state law.” Mitchum v. Foster, 407 U.S. 225, 242 (1972).

“The very purpose of § 1983 was to interpose the federal courts between the States and the peo- ple, as guardians of the people’s federal rights—to protect the people from unconstitutional action under color of state law.” Mitchum v. Foster, 407 U.S. 225, 242 (1972).

As to the first exception, Montgomery argues that the Supreme Court “has unequivocally held that actions brought under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 constitute an ‘expressly authorized’ exception to the Anti-Injunction Act.” Mitchum v. Foster, 407 U.S. 225, 242 (1972).

In that case, the Supreme Court examined “whether [§ 1983] comes within the ‘expressly authorized’ exception of the anti-injunction statute so as to permit a federal court in a § 1983 suit to grant an injunction to stay a proceeding pending in a state court.” , 407 U.S. at 226.

Federal courts generally abstain when 5 asked to enjoin a party from enforcing a state court judgment due to “the importance to the States 6 of enforcing the orders and judgments of their courts.” See Pennzoil Co. v. Texaco, Inc., 481 U.S. 7 1, 13 (1987). 8 As written, the motion for TRO is not within the § 1983 exception because preventing 9 state court proceedings from moving forward would not clearly “prevent great, immediate, and 10 irreparable loss of [Plaintiff’s] cons…

Federal courts should therefore abstain from exercising jurisdiction absent “exceptional circumstances” such as “bad faith.”27 TitleMax argues the Department exhibited bad faith in two ways: it lacked a “theory of liability” because “none of the [TitleMax entities] ever negotiated or made 23 Appellants’ Br. 43. 24 PDX, 978 F.3d at 885 (quoting O’Neill v.

Plaintiff argues that this case falls within the “expressly authorized” exception set forth in Mitchum v. Foster, 407 U.S. 225, 226 (1972), for injunctions issued pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 .

Mitchum v. Foster, 407 U.S. 225, 242 (1972).

Although section 1983 is one of those exceptions, see Mitchum v. Foster, 407 U.S. 225, 243 (1972), under the facts alleged in this case, there is no justification for invading the State’s latitude to manage its affairs, and Carey’s requests for injunctive relief should be denied.

The first exception—if relief is “expressly authorized by Act of Congress”—applies only if a federal statute explicitly authorizes an injunction staying state proceedings or if the statute “create[s] a specific and uniquely federal right or remedy, enforceable in a federal court of equity, that could be frustrated if the federal court were not empowered to enjoin a state court proceeding.” Mitchum v. Foster, 407 U.S. 225, 237 (1972).

Wyly v. Weiss, 697 F.3d 131, 144 (2d Cir. 2012) (quoting Mitchum v. Foster, 407 U.S. 225, 243 (1972)).

The Court clarified, however, that it did not “question or qualify in any way the principles of equity, comity, and federalism [set forth in Younger] that must restrain a federal court when asked to enjoin a state court proceeding.” Id. at 243.

That happens under circumstances such as “where irreparable injury is both great and immediate, where the state law is flagrantly and patently violative of express constitutional prohibitions, or where there is a showing of bad faith, harassment, or . . . other unusual circumstances that would call for equitable relief.” Mitchum v. Foster, 407 U.S. 225, 230 (1972) (internal quotation marks and citations omitted).

For this first exception to apply, “an Act of Congress must have created a specific and uniquely federal right or remedy . . . that could be frustrated if the federal court were not empowered to enjoin a state court proceeding.” Mitchum v. Foster, 407 U.S. 225, 237 (1972).

Finally, Mitchum stood only for the proposition that the Anti-Injunction Act does not absolutely bar a district court from exercising jurisdiction over a 42 U.S.C. 8 1983 claim “where irreparable injury is both great and immediate, where the state law is flagrantly and patently violative of express constitutional prohibitions, or where there are ... unusual circumstances that would call for equitable relief.” 407 U.S. at 230, 243 (citation modified), quoting Younger, 401 U.S…

Moreover, "according to the Supreme Court, the applicability of an exception to the Act does not 'qualify in any way the principles of equity, comity, and federalism that must restrain a federal court when asked to enjoin a state court proceeding.'" Kehoe, 2011 WL 2692966 , at *5 (quoting Mitchum v. Foster, 407 U.S. 225, 243 (1972)).

One of them, embedded in the Act’s very first section, was to “ope[n] the federal courts to private citizens, offering a uniquely federal remedy against incursions under the claimed authority of state law upon rights secured by the Constitution and laws of the Nation.” Mitchum v. Foster, 407 U. S. 225, 239 (1972).

No. 5, this lawsuit invites a federal court to interfere with ongoing state court litigation, and, so, the Court must abstain from exercising its jurisdiction over this case under Younger v. Harris, 401 U.S. 37 (1971), which, “following Pennzoil Co. v. Texaco Inc., 481 U.S. 1, 10-11 (1987), [ ] also applies ‘when certain civil proceedings are pending, if the State’s interests in the proceeding are so important that exercise of the federal judicial power would disregard the c…

But that statute “does not ‘qualify in any way the principles of equity, comity, and federalism that must restrain a federal court when asked to enjoin a state court proceeding.’” Gates v.
