Opinion

MEMORANDUM

**

Roger W. Knight appeals pro se the district court’s dismissal for lack of subject matter jurisdiction of his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action. The claims in Knight’s complaint are inextricably intertwined with prior Washington State court child support proceedings. The district court did not err in dismissing Knight’s action because under the Rooker-Feldman doctrine federal district courts lack authority to review state court judgments. District of Columbia Court of Appeals v. Feldman, 460 U.S. 462, 476, 103 S.Ct. 1303, 75 L.Ed.2d 206 (1983); Worldwide Church of God v. McNair, 805 F.2d 888, 892-93 (9th Cir. 1986); Branson v. Nott, 62 F.3d 287, 291-92 (9th Cir.1995).

AFFIRMED.
