Su-Inn Ho appeals the summary judgment in favor of the defendants on her civil rights action dismissing her civil rights and tort claims regarding her dismissal from the doctoral chemistry program at the University of Texas at Arlington and the misdeeds of the individual defendants during a prior state lawsuit challenging her failure to obtain her doctoral degree. To the extent that Ho is challenging the proceedings in the prior state court action, those claims are “inextricably intertwined” with the state court’s judgment, and the district court lacked jurisdiction to consider the allegations under the Rooker-Feldman ** doctrine. Ho’s attempts to challenge the propriety of the ruling in her first civil action by the federal district court is also improper. To the extent that Ho is repeating her challenges to her dismissal from the university’s doctoral program, her claims are barred by the doctrine of res judicata. See Kentucky v. Graham, 473 U.S. 159, 165-66, 105 S.Ct. 3099, 87 L.Ed.2d 114 (1985); Nilsen v. City of Moss Point, Miss., 701 F.2d 556, 560 (5th Cir. 1983) (en banc). The judgment of the district court is therefore AFFIRMED.
