Question Presented (from Petition)

Does the Rooker-Feldman doctrine preclude the District Court from recognizing subject matter jurisdiction over the claims filed by Mr. Bruce in federal court when Mr. Bruce was never made a party to, nor allowed to participate fully in, the state court litigation which formed the basis for the District Court's refusal to exercise subject matter jurisdiction?
