Before BOWMAN, BEAM, and LOKEN, Circuit Judges.
                          ___________

PER CURIAM.

       Heather Hogrobrooks appeals from the district court’s1 dismissal of her civil
rights complaint and imposition of sanctions. Upon de novo review, see Springdale
Educ. Ass’n v. Springdale Sch. Dist., 

, 651 (8th Cir. 1998), we conclude
that Hogrobrooks’s complaint was properly dismissed as barred by res judicata and the
Rooker-Feldman2 doctrine, see Costner v. URS Consultants, Inc., 

, 673
(8th Cir. 1998) (res judicata bars further claims by parties based on same cause of
action); Neal v. Wilson, 

, 356 (8th Cir. 1997) (under Rooker-Feldman
doctrine, district court lacked subject matter jurisdiction over challenge to state bar
disciplinary proceedings). We further conclude that the district court did not abuse its
discretion in imposing sanctions or denying appointment of counsel. See Cooter & Gell
v. Hartmarx Corp., 

, 405 (1990) (sanctions); Stevens v. Redwing, 

, 546 (8th Cir. 1998) (appointment of counsel).

      Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
