Arletta J. KUROWSKI, Mother retired tribal leader; Daniel D. Kurowski Hawk, Full Time Ph D Student; Debra J. Kurowski, Custodian Oneida Nation Casino; Donna M. Kurowski-Galvan, Caretaker of her mother Arletta Kurowski, Plaintiffs - Appellants, v. Brian KUROWSKI; Norma J. Kurowski, Estate of, Defendants - Appellees.
Arletta Kurowski, Daniel Kurowski Hawk, Debra Kurowski, and Donna Kurowski-Galvan appeal the district court's order accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and dismissing their complaint without prejudice for lack of jurisdiction, pursuant to the Rooker-Feldman doctrine and the probate exception to federal jurisdiction. See Dist. Of Columbia Court of Appeals v. Feldman, 460 U.S. 462, 103 S.Ct. 1303, 75 L.Ed.2d 206 (1983); Rooker v. Fid. Trust Co., 263 U.S. 413, 44 S.Ct. 149, 68 L.Ed. 362 (1923); Graham Shopping Ctr., LLC v. Estate of Kirsch, 777 F.3d 678, 680-81 (4th Cir. 2015). We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. We therefore affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. Kurowski v. Kurowski, No. 8:19-cv-01494-TMC, 2019 WL 3162403 (D.S.C. July 16, 2019). We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before this court and argument would not aid the decisional process.
AFFIRMED
