Description
LOGAN, Circuit Judge. Plaintiffs Larry Greenhaw, O.D., Philip Miller, O.D., Lenscrafters, Inc. (Lenscrafters) and Pearle Vision, Inc. (Pearle),
have appealed the district court's dismissal of their underlying complaint filed against the Oklahoma Board of Examiners of
Optometry (Board) and the individual Board members Duane Moore, O.D., George E. Foster, O.D., and Lloyd Peck, O.D., sued in
their individual and official capacities (No. 93-5039). Plaintiffs' federal claims were dismissed as unripe for failure to
exhaust state administrative remedies. The district court also invoked the abstention doctrine of Railroad Comm'n v. Pullman
Co., 312 U.S. 496, 500-01, 85 L. Ed. 971, 61 S. Ct. 643 (1941), to afford Oklahoma state courts the first opportunity to interpret
and apply the relevant Oklahoma statutes.
