Task: Wrong Candidate Generation
Input (English): had been reviewed "extensively and with finality” by the state courts and therefore there was no pending or ongoing state action. Taliaferro v. Darby Twp. Zoning Bd., 458 F.3d 181, 192 (3d Cir.2006). Of course, after receiving an unfavorable decision from the state courts on appeal, the Younger doctrine would not bar Plaintiffs from bringing their claims to federal court because there would be no pending state action. Id. 14 . In United Artists, Justice Alito pointed out that the decision to apply the "shocks the conscience” test put the Third Circuit "in line” with other Courts of Appeals that declined to find substantive due process violations in cases involving land-use disputes: See, e.g., Chesterfield Development Corp. v. City of Chesterfield, 963 F.2d 1102, 1104-05 (8th Cir.1992) (<HOLDING>); PFZ Properties, Inc. v. Rodriguez, 928 F.2d
