Everson v. Eagles
Opinion
David K. and Patricia M. Everson appeal the district court’s orders granting *617 Respondents’ motions to dismiss the Ever-sons’ 42 U.S.C. §§ 1981 and 1983 (2000) claims. The district court found the Ever-sons’ claims were barred by absolute judicial immunity, the Eleventh Amendment, the Rooker-Feldman * abstention doctrine, and because they failed to state a federal claim. The Eversons challenge each of the district court’s findings.
We have reviewed the record, the parties’ informal briefs, and the district court’s orders and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. Everson v. Eagles, No. 1:06-cv-00901-JAB (M.D.N.C. June 4, 2007); Everson v. Goodson, No. 1:06-cv-00902-JAB (M.D.N.C. June 4, 2007). We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process.
AFFIRMED.
See District of Columbia Court of Appeals v. Feldman, 460 U.S. 462, 103 S.Ct. 1303, 75 L.Ed.2d 206 (1983); Rooker v. Fidelity Trust Co., 263 U.S. 413, 44 S.Ct. 149, 68 L.Ed. 362 (1923).
