MEMORANDUM**

Lewis W. Poe appeals pro se the district court’s dismissal for lack of subject matter jurisdiction of his section 1983 action. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291. The existence of subject matter jurisdiction is a question of law we review de novo, Garvey v. Roberts, 203 F.3d 580, 587 (9th Cir. 2000), and we affirm.

Poe alleged a Hawaii state court judge and four state supreme court justices retaliated against him for criticizing the Hawaii judiciary by denying his petition for review of a state agency decision. Because federal district courts lack jurisdiction to review final state court decisions, the district court properly dismissed Poe’s action under the Rooker-Feldman doctrine. See Doe & Assocs. v. Napolitano, 252 F.3d 1026, 1029 (9th Cir. 2001).

Poe’s motion to expedite appeal, filed October 15, 2001, is denied as moot.

AFFIRMED.
