Hanson v. Firmat
Hanson v. Firmat
Opinion of the Court
MEMORANDUM
Kristin R. Hanson appeals pro se from the district court’s order dismissing for lack of subject matter jurisdiction her 42
The district court properly concluded that the Rooker-Feldman doctrine bars Hanson’s action because it is a “forbidden de facto appeal” from judicial decisions of a state court, and raises constitutional claims that are “inextricably intertwined” with those prior state court judgments. Id. at 1158; see also Doe & Assocs. Law Offices v. Napolitano, 252 F.3d 1026, 1030 (9th Cir. 2001) (the Rooker-Feldman doctrine bars review of interlocutory state court decisions).
The district court did not abuse its discretion by granting defendants’ requests for judicial notice because courts may take judicial notice of documents in the public record. See Lee v. City of Los Angeles, 250 F.3d 668, 689 (9th Cir. 2001) (stating that a district court’s decision to take judicial notice is reviewed for an abuse of discretion).
Hanson’s remaining contentions are unpersuasive.
Hanson’s motion to file a corrected reply brief is granted. The Clerk is directed to file the corrected reply brief received on January 10, 2007.
AFFIRMED.
This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
