constitute binding precedent.
PER CURIAM

       Appellant Ajay Kajla, proceeding pro se, appeals from the judgment of the District

Court dismissing his complaint for lack of subject matter jurisdiction, as well as the

denial of his request for reconsideration. For the reasons that follow, we will affirm.

       Because we write primarily for the parties, we will only recite the facts necessary

for our discussion. Kajla defaulted on his home loan in 2007. The lienholder thereafter

filed a mortgage foreclosure action in New Jersey state court in December 2007, followed

by an amended foreclosure complaint in July 2008, and a second amended complaint in

October 2008. The Superior Court of New Jersey, Chancery Division, granted a final

judgment of foreclosure in March 2015, after Kajla and his wife failed to appear and

defaulted the case. Kajla unsuccessfully filed a motion to vacate the default judgment in

April 2015. On September 22, 2016, the Superior Court of New Jersey, Appellate

Division, affirmed both the second amended final judge of foreclosure and the order

denying Kajla’s motion to vacate. See U.S. Bank Nat’l Ass’n v. Kajla, No. A-3875-

14T2, 

(N.J. Super. Ct. App. Div. 2016).

       In October of 2018, Kajla filed a complaint in the United States District Court for

the District of New Jersey against numerous judges of the New Jersey Superior Court, the

Superior Court – Appellate Division, and the New Jersey Supreme Court who rendered

various rulings in state court proceedings adjudicating the foreclosure on his house and

his subsequent eviction, as well as the Office of Foreclosure of the New Jersey Superior

Court. Kajla alleged that his home had been foreclosed upon illegally and fraudulently,

and that his constitutional rights were violated by these actions. He sought an

                                             2
unspecified amount of monetary damages and the “cessation” of any state court

proceedings. See Compl. at ¶ 39.

       We have jurisdiction over this appeal pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We exercise

plenary review of the District Court’s order granting a motion to dismiss for lack of

subject matter jurisdiction. See FOCUS v. Allegheny Cty. Court of Common Pleas, 

, 839-40 (3d Cir. 1996). We review a District Court’s denial of a motion for

reconsideration for abuse of discretion. Howard Hess Dental Labs. Inc. v. Dentsply Int’l,

Inc., 

, 246 (3d Cir. 2010).

       The District Court held that consideration of Kajla’s complaint was barred by the

Rooker-Feldman doctrine because such appellate jurisdiction rests solely with the United

States Supreme Court. See 28 U.S.C. § 1257 (only the Supreme Court has jurisdiction to

review decisions of state courts); Rooker v. Fid. Tr., 

, 416 (1923); D.C.

Court of Appeals v. Feldman, 

, 486-87 (1983). The Rooker-Feldman

doctrine deprives a District Court of jurisdiction to review, directly or indirectly, a state

court decision. The Supreme Court has emphasized the narrow scope of the doctrine,

holding that it is confined to “cases brought by state-court losers complaining of injuries

caused by state-court judgments rendered before the district court proceedings

commenced and inviting district court review and rejection of those judgments.” Exxon

Mobil Corp. v. Saudi Basic Indus. Corp., 

, 284 (2005).

       There are four requirements for the Rooker-Feldman doctrine to apply: “(1) the

federal plaintiff lost in state court; (2) the plaintiff ‘complain[s] of injuries caused by

[the] state-court judgments’; (3) those judgments were rendered before the federal suit

                                               3
was filed; and (4) the plaintiff is inviting the district court to review and reject the state

judgments.” Great W. Mining & Mineral Co. v. Fox Rothschild LLP, 

, 166

(3d Cir. 2010) (quoting Exxon 

) (alterations in original). These

requirements are met here. Kajla complained he was injured by state court rulings and

judgments that, inter alia, denied him discovery, were contrary to “their own published

guidelines and the prevailing [s]tandard,” see Compl. at ¶ 3.1, and permitted the

fraudulent foreclosure of his home. Those adjudications predated his federal complaint,

and were the judgments that Kajla asked the District Court to invalidate. Thus, to the

extent the District Court held that Kajla’s request for relief from the foreclosure order

was barred by the Rooker-Feldman doctrine, we agree.

       In his complaint, Kajla also sought unspecified monetary damages from the named

defendants. The District Court did not reach this claim, holding instead that it lacked

subject matter jurisdiction over the entire complaint by the Rooker-Feldman doctrine.

Nonetheless, it is beyond dispute that “[a] judicial officer in the performance of his duties

has absolute immunity from suit and will not be liable for his judicial acts.” Azubuko v.

Royal, 

, 303 (3d Cir. 2006). Although Kajla asserted that the various judges

acted “outside their judicial capacities,” he principally complained that the foreclosure

order was issued erroneously and fraudulently. Such allegations are insufficient to

overcome judicial immunity. See Capogrosso v. Supreme Court of N.J., 

,

184 (3d Cir. 2009) (per curiam) (holding that judicial immunity extends to judicial

officers, even if their actions were “‘in error, w[ere] done maliciously, or w[ere] in excess



                                                4
of [their] authority,’” unless the judges acted in clear absence of all jurisdiction (quoting

)).

       Furthermore, New Jersey courts, including New Jersey Superior Court’s Office of

Foreclosure, are entitled to Eleventh Amendment immunity. See, e.g., Haybarger v.

Lawrence Cty. Adult Prob. & Parole, 

, 198 (3d Cir. 2008); see also

Robinson v. N.J. Mercer Cty. Vicinage-Family Div., 514 F. App’x 146, 149 (3d Cir.

2013) (New Jersey county court was “clearly a part of the State of New Jersey,” so “both

the court itself and its employees in their official capacities were unconsenting state

entities entitled to immunity under the Eleventh Amendment”) (citing Chisolm v.

McManimon, 

(3d Cir. 2001), and Benn v. First Judicial Dist. of Pa., 

, 240 (3d Cir. 2005)).

       Finally, the District Court did not abuse its discretion in denying Kajla’s motion

for reconsideration. The motion was not based on an intervening change in the law,

newly discovered evidence, or “the need to correct a clear error of law or fact or to

prevent manifest injustice.” See Max’s Seafood Café ex rel. Lou-Ann, Inc. v. Quinteros,

, 677 (3d Cir. 1999).

       Accordingly, we will affirm the judgment of the District Court. 1

       Kajla’s Motion Requesting Justice for Filing Vexatious Letter/Document is
denied. There is nothing to suggest that the letter referenced in appellant’s motion was
filed by its author for any improper purpose as opposed to simply having been filed on
the dockets of two related appeals. Additionally, we note that the letter has long since
been removed from the electronic docket in this appeal.
