Whether a plaintiff in a diversity case who seeks monetary relief — for damages emanating from the defendant's fraud in procuring a state-court judgment — thereby triggers application of the Rooker-Feldman doctrine

QUESTIONS PRESENTED 1. Whether a plaintiff in a diversity case who seeks monetary relief — for damages emanating from the defendant’s fraud in procuring a state-court judgment — thereby triggers application of the Rooker-Feldman doctrine because he is “necessarily” seeking federal review and rejection of the judgment itself, despite the fact the requested relief would leave the judgment in full force and effect. , 2. Whether a federal court, which would have been sitting in diversity if not for a federal jurisdictional doctrine inapplicable in the state judiciary, may nonetheless invoke the state’s fee-shifting statute to award attorneys’ fees against the federal plaintiff, and may do so admittedly without ever having had subject matter jurisdiction. 2
