1Opinion of the Court
Affirmed by published opinion. Judge GREGORY wrote the opinion, in which Senior Judge HAMILTON joined. Judge MOTZ concurred in the judgment.
GREGORY, Circuit Judge.
This appeal requires us to determine whether personal jurisdiction exists over an out-of-state defendant and, if so, whether the district court could decline to exercise jurisdiction. Because the district court was entitled to exercise its discretion to decline to hear a declaratory judgment action in light of a parallel state-court case, we affirm.
