Brud Rudolph Rossman, Esquire,
Appellant
v.
Elizabeth Wingo, Judge, D.C. Superior Court
D.C. Courthouse, et al.,
Appellees
ON APPEAL FROM THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA
BEFORE: Rogers and Walker, Circuit Judges; Sentelle, Senior Circuit Judge
JUDGMENT
This appeal was considered on the record from the United States District Court
for the District of Columbia and on the briefs and appendix filed by appellant. See Fed.
R. App. P. 34(a)(2); D.C. Cir. Rule 34(j). It is
ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that the district court’s order, filed May 27, 2020,
be affirmed. The district court correctly concluded that it lacks subject matter
jurisdiction over appellant’s complaint. See Gray v. Poole, 275 F.3d 1113, 1119 (D.C.
Cir. 2002) (“The Rooker-Feldman doctrine prevents lower federal courts from hearing
cases that amount to the functional equivalent of an appeal from a state court.”).
Pursuant to D.C. Circuit Rule 36, this disposition will not be published. The Clerk
is directed to withhold issuance of the mandate herein until seven days after resolution
of any timely petition for rehearing or petition for rehearing en banc. See Fed. R. App.
P. 41(b); D.C. Cir. Rule 41.
