When parallel state litigation was offered as a reason to pause a federal case, Arce-Flores treated abstention as exceptional and required a particularly clear justification for declining jurisdiction.

“Only the clearest of justifications will warrant dismissal.”

From public federal docket records for this judge.

The sampled assigned matters were almost entirely short criminal-duty or petty-offense proceedings. Sparse or missing termination metadata and the exclusion of a mismatched stream do not support a reliable duration statistic or civil caseload mix.
