SVERDRUP CORP. v. EDWARDSVILLE SCHOOL DIST. NO. 7

No. 96-3714.

125 F.3d 546 (1997)

SVERDRUP CORPORATION, Plaintiff-Appellant, v. EDWARDSVILLE COMMUNITY UNIT SCHOOL DISTRICT NO. 7, Edwardsville Board of Education, James Speciale, et al., Defendants-Appellees.

United States Court of Appeals, Seventh Circuit.

Decided September 10, 1997.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Timothy R. Thornton, J. Roger Edgar (argued), Greensfelder, Hemker & Gale, St. Louis, MO, for Plaintiff-Appellant.

Jeffrey S. Hebrank (argued), J. Todd Hayes, Burroughs, Hepler, Broom, MacDonald & Hebrank, Edwardsville, IL, for Defendants-Appellees.

Before POSNER, Chief Judge, and COFFEY and RIPPLE, Circuit Judges.

RIPPLE, Circuit Judge.

In this diversity case, Sverdrup Corporation appeals the district court's grant of a stay of the proceedings pending resolution of a parallel action in the Illinois state court. Because the district court granted the stay without an analysis of the abstention principles that govern the Colorado River doctrine, we reverse its judgment and remand the case for further proceedings.
