“Rooker-Feldman bars those claims that were adjudicated in a prior state court action, as'well as those claims that are ‘inextricably intertwined ’ with the state court judgment. [The Second Circuit has] held that “ ‘inextricably intertwined means, at a minimum, that where a federal plaintiff had an opportunity to litigate a claim in a state proceeding ..., subsequent litigation of the claim will be barred under the Rooker-Feldman doctrine if it would be barred under the principles of preclusion.’ ””
