Appeal from the United States District Court for the Central District of California Cormac J. Carney, District Judge, Presiding

Submitted April 22, 2024**

Before: CALLAHAN, LEE, and FORREST, Circuit Judges.

* This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by Ninth Circuit Rule 36-3. ** The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2). Ronald Williams appeals pro se from the district court’s judgment

dismissing his action alleging federal and state law claims arising from his

employment with the City of Los Angeles. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C.

§ 1291. We review de novo. Davidson v. Kimberly-Clark Corp., 889 F.3d 956, 963 (9th Cir. 2018) (dismissal under Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b)(1) and (6)); Noel v. Hall,

341 F.3d 1148, 1154 (9th Cir. 2003) (dismissal under the Rooker-Feldman

doctrine). We affirm.

The district court properly dismissed Williams’s action for lack of subject

matter jurisdiction under the Rooker-Feldman doctrine because Williams’s claims

are a “de facto appeal” of a prior state court judgment or are “inextricably

intertwined” with that judgment. Id. at 1163-65 (discussing proper application of

the Rooker-Feldman doctrine); see also Cooper v. Ramos, 704 F.3d 772, 782 (9th

Cir. 2012) (explaining that claims are “inextricably intertwined” with state court

decisions where federal adjudication “would impermissibly undercut the state

ruling on the same issues” (citation and internal quotation marks omitted)).

We do not consider arguments and allegations raised for the first time on

appeal. See Padgett v. Wright, 587 F.3d 983, 985 n.2 (9th Cir. 2009).

All pending motions and requests are denied.

AFFIRMED.
