1Opinion of the Court
STROM, District Judge.
Employers Insurance of Wausau (“Wau-sau”) appeals the district court’s 1 order granting the defendant’s motion to dismiss Wausau’s complaint filed pursuant to the Declaratory Judgment Act, 28 U.S.C. § 2201. Wausau argues on appeal that the district court erred in abstaining in favor of a pending state court case which raised essentially identical issues. After careful consideration, we find that the district court did not abuse its discretion and affirm.
