KENNEDY, Circuit Judge,
concurring:
General principles of abstention are distinct from the doctrine of dismissal for lack of jurisdiction pursuant to Younger v. Harris, 401 U.S. 37, 91 S.Ct. 746, 27 L.Ed.2d 669 (1971), and Huffman v. Pursue, Ltd,., 420 U.S. 592, 95 S.Ct. 1200 (1975). Only the latter rule is applicable here, and Huffman squarely controls. I concur in the judgment.
