PER CURIAM:

Appellant Under Seal appeals the district court’s order abstaining from and

dismissing Appellant’s civil action seeking equitable relief in an ongoing state proceeding

pursuant to Younger v. Harris, 401 U.S. 37 (1971); Huffman v. Pursue, Ltd., 420 U.S. 592

(1975). We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm

the district court’s order. See Ohio Civil Rights Comm ’n v. Dayton Cristian Sch., Inc., All

U.S. 619, 625-29 (1986); Middlesex Cnty. Ethics Comm. v. Garden State Bar Ass’n, 457

U.S. 423, 431-37 (1982); Robinson v. Thomas, 855 F.3d 278, 285-86 (4th Cir. 2017);

Nivens v. Gilchrist, 444 F.3d 237,246-48 (4th Cir. 2006). We dispense with oral argument

because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before this

court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

AFFIRMED
