                              - 2 -
PER CURIAM:

          Denise and John Cordero, individually and on behalf of

their minor children, appeal the district court’s order abstaining

from exercising jurisdiction over their 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2000)

complaint.    We have reviewed the record and find that the district

court did not abuse its discretion in abstaining under Younger v.

Harris, 

 (1971). Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons

stated by the district court.     See Cordero v. Mecklenburg County

Youth & Family Servs., No. CA-02-294-3 (W.D.N.C. Feb. 9, 2004). We

dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions

are adequately presented in the materials before the court and

argument would not aid the decisional process.



                                                           AFFIRMED
