Chapman v. Long
Opinion of the Court
MEMORANDUM
Richard Paul Chapman, a former California state prisoner, appeals pro se from
The district court properly concluded that the Rooker-Feldman doctrine bars Chapman’s civil rights action because it is a “forbidden de facto appeal from a judicial decision of a state court,” and raises constitutional claims that are “inextricably intertwined” with that prior state court decision. Id. at 1158.
The district court did not abuse its discretion in denying Chapman’s motion for reconsideration because Chapman failed to demonstrate grounds warranting relief from the judgment. See Sch. Dist. No. 1J, Multnomah County, Or. v. ACandS, Inc., 5 F.3d 1255, 1263 (9th Cir. 1993).
AFFIRMED.
