Date Filed Document Text
March 27, 2024 Opinion or Order Filing 7 ORDER by Senior Judge Charles R. Simpson, III on 03/27/2024. The instant action is DISMISSED in accordance with the Younger abstention doctrine. There being no just reason for delay in its entry, this is a final Order. The Court further certifies that an appeal of this action would be frivolous and would not be taken in good faith. cc: Plaintiff (pro se) (HMC)
March 27, 2024 Opinion or Order Filing 6 MEMORANDUM OPINION by Senior Judge Charles R. Simpson, III on 03/27/2024. The Commonwealth of Kentucky has an important interest in adjudicating Plaintiff's criminal action, and Plaintiff has not articulated any reason to believe that the Kentucky state courts will not fully and fairly litigate his constitutional claims. If he is found guilty of the charges against him, he still has a number of state-court remedies available to him, including the Kentucky state appeals process and post-conviction relief. Thus, the Court will dismiss this case in accordance with the Younger abstention doctrine. The Court will enter a separate Order dismissing this action consistent with this Memorandum Opinion. cc: Plaintiff (pro se) (HMC)
