Kidane Sante Shulbe v. State

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit
Kidane Sante Shulbe v. State, 621 F. App'x 360 (8th Cir. 2015)

Kidane Sante Shulbe v. State

Opinion

PER CURIAM.

Kidane Shulbe appeals the district court’s 1 dismissal of his complaint, in which he sought relief from an order entered in a state-court case and he sought damages for injuries allegedly resulting from that order. He has also filed in this court a motion seeking the removal of judges who were involved in the state-court proceedings. The district court dismissed Shulbe’s complaint without prejudice upon concluding that, under the Rook-er-Feldman 2 doctrine, it lacked subject matter jurisdiction. Upon careful review of the record and Shulbe’s arguments on appeal, we conclude that the dismissal was proper. See Minch Family LLLP. v. Buffalo-Red, River Watershed Dist., 628 F.3d 960, 965 (8th Cir. 2010) (de novo standard of review); see also Fed.R.Civ.P. 12(h)(3) (if court determines at any time that it lacks subject matter jurisdiction, court must dismiss action); Exxon Mobil Corp. v. Saudi Basic Indus. Corp., 544 U.S. 280, 283-84, 125 S.Ct. 1517, 161 L.Ed.2d 454 (2005) (discussing Rooker-Feldman doctrine). Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B. We also deny Shulbe’s pending motion.
