  Case: 11-30651    Document: 00511742630     Page: 2   Date Filed: 01/31/2012

                                 No. 11-30651

      The plaintiffs, proceeding pro se in the district court and on appeal, sued
under 42 U.S.C. § 1983, attacking various transactions regarding a foreclosure.
The magistrate judge issued an extensive report recommending that the district
court should abstain from exercising jurisdiction and should dismiss the suit
without prejudice. The district court adopted that recommendation.
      We agree with the magistrate judge that abstention is required by Younger
v. Harris, 401 U.S. 37 (1971), and Health Net, Inc. v. Wooley, 534 F.3d 487 (5th
Cir. 2008). The judgment of dismissal without prejudice is AFFIRMED, essen-
tially for the reasons given by the magistrate judge in her report. The motion
for leave to file a supplemental brief and to provide additional evidence is
DENIED.
