Mooney v. Boli

265 F. App'x 567

Opinion

MEMORANDUM

**

Shawn Karl Mooney appeals pro se from the district court’s judgment dismissing for lack of subject matter jurisdiction his action under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 alleging a conspiracy to violate his due process rights in connection with an action that he brought in state court. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo a district court’s dismissal based on the Rooker-Feldman doctrine. Noel v. Hall, 341 F.3d 1148, 1154 (9th Cir.2003). We affirm.

The district court properly concluded that the Rooker-Feldman doctrine barred Mooney’s action because it is a “forbidden de facto appeal” of a state court decision, and raises constitutional claims that are “inextricably intertwined” with that prior state court decision. Id. at 1158.

Mooney’s remaining contentions are unpersuasive.

AFFIRMED.
