Torres v. State Bar
Torres v. State Bar
Opinion of the Court
MEMORANDUM
Felix Torres, Jr., a California attorney who was suspended from the practice of law for misconduct, appeals pro se from the district court’s judgment dismissing his action alleging defendants violated 42 U.S.C. § 1983, Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act, and state law by denying his petition for relief from his suspension by the State Bar Court. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo dismissal based on the Rooker-Feldman doctrine. Maldonado v. Harris, 370 F.3d 945, 949 (9th Cir. 2004). We affirm.
The district court properly concluded that Torres’s action was barred by the Rooker-Feldman doctrine because it was a forbidden de facto appeal from suspension
Torres’s remaining contentions are unavailing.
AFFIRMED.
This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
