Defendant - Appellee.
Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of

Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Robert Steven Catz, Washington, D.C., for Appellant. Veronica
Blake, Appellee Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Jacob Roginsky appeals the district court’s order denying
relief on his civil rights complaint. We have reviewed the record
and find no reversible error. Because Roginsky seeks to overturn
final state court judgments against him, the district court lacked
jurisdiction over his complaint. See District of Columbia Court of
Appeals v. Feldman,
460 U.S. 462, 486 (1983) (stating that the
Rooker-Feldman abstention doctrine establishes that a district
court lacks jurisdiction over a litigant’s challenge to a state
court decision, including challenges alleging the state court’s
action was unconstitutional). Thus, we affirm the district court’s
judgment on those grounds. Additionally, we deny Roginsky’s motion
to appoint counsel for Blake. We dispense with oral argument
because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in
the materials before the court and argument would not aid the
decisional process.
AFFIRMED
