How later courts describe this case

  • federal courts should permit state courts to try state cases; when § 1983 claims arise, state court judges are fully competent to handle them
  • dismissal for failure to meet precondition is a bar to a subsequent suit where plaintiff failed—perhaps deliberately—to meet precondition and defendant was heavily burdened in litigating a trial in the first case
