Annotations
JUDICIAL DECISIONS Jurisdiction. - When consent decrees were issued in an environmental suit against a city, and a municipality’s incorporation led to service delivery proceedings in state court ten years later, the federal court lacked jurisdiction to enjoin the parties from pursuing the service delivery proceedings in state court under Georgia’s Service Delivery Strategy Act, O.C.G.A. § 36-70-20 et seq., because the
‘‘in aid of its jurisdiction’’ exception in the Anti-Injunction Act did not apply, and the federal court lacked supplemental jurisdiction over the state service delivery proceeding issues under 28 U.S.C. § 1367.
