  • noting that \all four requirements must be met in order for Rooker-Feldman to act as a jurisdictional bar\
  • declining to apply Rooker Feldman when the alleged harm was from conduct leading to the settlement, not the court’s ordering of the settlement
  • “Since federal district courts are granted original — and not appellate — jurisdiction, cases that function as de facto appeals of state-court judgments are therefore jurisdictionally barred.”
  • “[W]e have applied the Rooker-Feldman doctrine with some frequency to cases involving suits . . . in which error by state-court judges in state-court proceedings is asserted, frequently in the foreclosure process.”
