Court of Appeals v. Feldman, 460 U.S. 462, 482-86 [ 103 S.Ct. 1303 , 75 L.Ed.2d 206 ] (1983); Rooker v. Fid. Trust Co., 263 U.S. 413, 415-16 [ 44 S.Ct. 149 , 68 L.Ed. 362 ] (1923). The Rooker-Feldman doctrine states that: a losing party in state court is barred from seeking what in substance would be appellate review of the state judgment in a United States District Court, based on the losing party’s claim that the state judgment itself violates the loser’s federal rights.
