Before WOLLMAN, BYE, and SHEPHERD, Circuit Judges.

The district court*fn1 dismissed Greta Arlene Hudson’s § 1983 claim against the Directors of the Missouri Family Support Division and Department of Social Services (the Division) based on the abstention doctrine set forth in Younger v. Harris, 401 U.S. 37 (1971). Hudson*fn2 appeals, contending that the district court should not have abstained from hearing her claim. Because under Alleghany Corp. v. McCartney, 896 F.2d 1138 (8th Cir. 1990), abstention is appropriate in administrative proceedings like Hudson’s, we hold that the district court did not err in abstaining.
