H. Res. 271--Resolution providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 
    1534) to simplify and expedite access to the Federal courts for 
    injured parties whose rights and privileges, secured by the U.S. 
    Constitution, have been deprived by final actions of Federal 
    agencies, or other government officials or entities acting under 
    color of State law, to prevent Federal courts from abstaining from 
    exercising Federal jurisdiction in actions where no State law 
    claim is alleged, to permit certification of unsettled State law 
    questions that are essential to resolving Federal claims arising 
    under the Constitution, and to clarify when government action is 
    sufficiently final to ripen certain Federal claims arising under 
    the Constitution.
