____________________



















































































Per Curiam. The district court correctly dismissed __________

plaintiff's action for lack of federal jurisdiction. To the

extent plaintiff wanted the district court to review the

correctness of the state court decisions, plaintiff's action

was properly dismissed because lower federal courts lack

jurisdiction to review state court judgments. Rooker v. ______

Fidelity Trust Co., 263 U.S. 413 (1923). To the extent ___________________

plaintiff wanted the district court to hear and determine the

merits of her controversies with defendants and their

predecessors in title, the action was properly dismissed

because plaintiff's disputes, as described in her complaint,

amended complaint, and other papers, are not the type of

matters over which federal courts have jurisdiction. _______

Affirmed. ________
