Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Marshall S. Ney, Little Rock, AR, argued (Bryon Freeland, on the brief), for appellant.

Dinah M. Dale, Asst. Atty. Gen., Little Rock, AR, argued (Thomas S. Gay, Sr. Asst. Atty. Gen., on the brief), for appellees.

Before MAGILL and BEAM, Circuit Judges, and VAN SICKLE, Senior District Judge.

MAGILL, Circuit Judge.

The Yamaha Motor Corporation (Yamaha) appeals the district court's order abstaining from, and dismissing without prejudice, Yamaha's 42 U.S.C. § 1983 claim against six members of the Arkansas Motor Vehicle Commission (the Commission). Because we find that the district court erred when it abstained from exercising its jurisdiction over this action, we reverse and remand to the district court for further proceedings.
