Janice M. Berg on brief pro se. ______________

Per Curiam. Plaintiff's action essentially sought __________
federal court review of state family court proceedings.
Because lower federal courts do not have the authority to
review such proceedings, we affirm the dismissal of
plaintiff's action. Rooker v. Fidelity Trust Co., 263 U.S. _____________________________
413, 415-16 (1923); Lancellotti v. Fay, 909 F.2d 15, 17 (1st __________________
Cir. 1990).
Affirmed. ________
