Question Presented (from Petition)

Whether the Ninth Circuit may ignore and refuse to follow this Court's precedent in application of the Rooker-Feldman doctrine, which requires that the federal court determine whether the federal civil-rights Complaint seeks "review and rejection" of the underlying state-court judgments, and on that basis affirm the dismissal of the civil-rights Complaint.
