Ninth Circuit -- R.R. STREET & CO. INC. V. TRANSPORT INSURANCE COMPANY

No error in prudential dismissal of federal declaratory judgment action in favor of pending state action on same merits; no error in dismissal of federal action in favor of state action where federal action risks piecemeal solution.

Rooker-Feldman doesn't apply, as there is no final state court judgment.
