OPINION
Plaintiff foster children appeal the dismissal of their class action lawsuit under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 , in which they allege that the caseloads of the Sacramento County Dependency Court and court-appointed attorneys are so excessive as to violate federal and state constitutional and statutory provisions. The district court abstained from adjudicating Plaintiffs’ claims. Based on O’Shea v. Littleton, 414 U.S. 488 , 94 S.Ct. 669 , 38 L.Ed.2d 674 (1974), we affirm. See Kaufman v. Kaye, 466 F.3d 83, 84 (2d Cir.2006).
