  • holding that suits seeking redress for injuries traceable to defendants' actions, rather than the state court orders themselves, are not barred by Rooker - Feldman
  • holding that Rooker-Feldman doctrine did not preclude subject matter jurisdiction where injury claimed was “traceable to Appellees’ actions, as opposed to the state court orders those actions allegedly caused”
  • holding that it would be “hard to imagine” an instance in which fiscal and administra- tive burdens would justify the absence of any hearing at all
  • applying the Mathews test to evaluate whether there was the opportunity to be heard at a meaningful time and in a meaningful manner
  • “Speaking generally, however, it should be obvious that a hearing 40 days later is not sufficiently prompt.”
