Hudson v. Campbell, et al., No. 10-3025 (8th Cir. 2011)
Annotate this CaseThis case arose when defendant denied plaintiff's application for Medicaid benefits on the grounds that she had transferred property in 2005-2006 valued at $340,000. The district court subsequently dismissed plaintiff's 42 U.S.C. 1983 claim against defendants based on the abstention doctrine set forth in Younger v. Harris. Plaintiff appealed, contending that the district court should not have abstained from hearing her claim. Because, under Alleghany Corp. v. McCartney, abstention was appropriate in administrative proceedings like plaintiff's, the court held that the district court did not err in abstaining.
Court Description: Civil case - Civil rights. District court did not err in abstaining in the matter as Hudson's state law administrative proceedings were ongoing.
