We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review a district court’s decision to abstain de novo, Green v. City of Tucson, 255 F.3d 1086, 1093 (9th Cir.2001) (en banc), overruled in part on other grounds, Gilbertson v. Albright, 381 F.3d 965, 976-78 (9th Cir. 2004) (en banc). We may affirm on any basis supported by the record even if the district court did not rely on that basis. See…
