Moon v. Chicot County Arkansas Legal Associates

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit
Moon v. Chicot County Arkansas Legal Associates, 170 F. App'x 988 (8th Cir. 2006)

Moon v. Chicot County Arkansas Legal Associates

Opinion

PER CURIAM.

Guy Moon appeals the district court’s 1 order dismissing his civil complaint, wherein he asserted claims of fraud and racketeering against defendants for their alleged role in thwarting Moon’s challenge to the sale of certain real property in Chicot County, Arkansas. Following careful review, we agree with the district court that Moon’s claims are barred by the Rooker-Feldman 2 doctrine. See Exxon Mobil Corp. v. Saudi Basic Indus. Corp., 544 U.S. 289, 125 S.Ct. 1517, 1521-22, 161 L.Ed.2d 454 (2005). We also find no abuse of discretion in the denial of Moon’s recusal motion, and no error in the district court’s consideration of matters outside the pleadings. See Trammel v. Simmons First Bank of Searcy, 345 F.3d 611, 612-13 (8th Cir. 2003); Harris v. P.A.M. Transport, Inc., 339 F.3d 635, 637-38 & n. 4 (8th Cir. 2003).

Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
