Question Presented (AI Summary)

Whether Rooker-Feldman doctrine applies when the underlying state-court judgment is void ab initio

Question Presented (from Petition)

QUESTION PRESENTED Under the Rooker—Feldman doctrine, federal district courts lack jurisdiction to hear cases seeking review of judgments issued by state courts. In this case, the purported state-court probation orders—were issued by employees of a private contractor and were not reviewed, approved, or signed by a state-court judge. The question presented, on which the circuits are split, is: Whether Rooker-Feldman doctrine applies when the underlying state-court judgment is void ab initio. (I)
