• noting that the doctrine “bars parties who lost in state court from ‘seeking review and rejection of that judgment’ in federal court”
• finding Rooker-Feldman doctrine inapplicable when \core issues\ raised in federal action concerned matters distinct from state-court judgment
• finding that the party asserting the res judicata defense failed to make a threshold showing because the party “did not put in the record a certified translation of any aspect of the prior Puerto Rico court proceedings.”
• “enforc[ing] the rule where the Spanish language document . . . is key to the outcome of the proceedings”
• “Allowing the outcome of a case to turn on a non-English language document would be at odds with the premise of a unified and integrated federal courts system... .”
• noting \the outcome of a case\ should not \turn on a non-English language document\
