Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Paula Linville, Appellant Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Paula Linville appeals the district court’s order denying re-
lief on her 42 U.S.C.A. § 1983 (West Supp. 1998) complaint. We
have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. We note
that although the absolute immunity of state court judges would not
prevent the district court from awarding declaratory or injunctive
relief, see Pulliam v. Allen,
466 U.S. 522, 541-42 (1984), the
district court has no power to review constitutional challenges to
the outcome of state proceedings. See District of Columbia Court
of Appeals v. Feldman,
460 U.S. 462, 486 (1983).
Accordingly, we affirm the dismissal of Appellant’s action and
deny her motion for the appointment of counsel. We also deny her
motion to expedite as moot. We dispense with oral argument because
the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the ma-
terials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional
process.
AFFIRMED
