1Opinion of the Court
ALTIMARI, Circuit Judge:
Ronald Hansel (“Hansel”), proceeding pro se, appeals from a judgment of the United States District Court for the Northern District of New York (McAvoy, C.J.), dismissing his complaint pursuant to Fed.R.Civ.P. 12(b)(6). On appeal, Hansel asserts that the district court improperly held, on the merits, that the New York town court system is facially constitutional under North v. Russell, 427 U.S. 328, 96 S.Ct. 2709, 49 L.Ed.2d 534 (1976). We do not reach the merits of Hansel’s constitutional challenge, but rather affirm the dismissal of his complaint on abstention grounds…
