PER CURIAM.
Michael O’Grady appeals the district court’s1 order dismissing as Rooker-
Feldman2 barred his complaint alleging wrongs stemming from his 1997 divorce,
custody, and support proceedings. The dismissal order also required O’Grady to
obtain permission from the Chief Judge of the United States District Court of the
District of Minnesota before filing in that court any future action containing similar
allegations. Upon review, we find no basis for reversal. See Skit Int’l, Ltd. v. DAC
Tech. of Ark., Inc., 487 F.3d 1154, 1156-57 (8th Cir. 2007) (de novo review of district
court’s dismissal for lack of subject matter jurisdiction; Rooker-Feldman doctrine
prohibits lower federal courts from exercising appellate review of state-court
judgments); cf. Sassower v. Carlson, 930 F.2d 583, 584 (8th Cir. 1991) (per curiam)
(enjoining vexatious litigant from filing civil actions in Minnesota district court
without first obtaining leave). Accordingly, the judgment of the district court is
affirmed. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
