OPINION OF THE COURT

NYGAARD, Circuit Judge.

Tara Ryan appeals from the district court's decision to dismiss her diversity action under the doctrine set forth in Colorado River Water Conservation District v. United States, 424 U.S. 800, 96 S.Ct. 1236, 47 L.Ed.2d 483 (1976), and subsequent cases. Because the district court applied Colorado River abstention incorrectly, we will reverse.
