*359OPINION OF THE COURT
ROSENN, Circuit Judge.
This appeal requires us to examine various forms of abstention advanced by the district court in choosing to refrain from exercising jurisdiction. Included is an unsettled question under the abstention doctrine promulgated in Railroad Commission of Texas v. Pullman, 312 U.S. 496, 61 S.Ct. 643, 85 L.Ed. 971 (1941): whether a claim that federal statutes preempt state law under the supremacy clause raises a substantial constitutional question which permits abstention.
