            Per Curiam.   After a thorough review of the record

  and the submissions of the parties, we affirm on the ground

  that the district court lacked subject matter jurisdiction.

  See District of Columbia Court of Appeals v. Feldman, 460 U.S.

  462, 476 (1983) ("[A] United States District Court has no

  authority to review final judgments of a state court in

  judicial proceedings."); Rooker v. Fidelity Trust Co., 263 U.S.

  413, 415-16 (1923) (same).

            Affirmed.  1st Cir. Loc. R. 27(c).
