Cargyle SOLOMON, Appellant v. Laura H.G. O'SULLIVAN, et al., Appellees
JUDGMENT
This appeal was considered on the record from the United States District Court for the District of Columbia and on appellant's brief. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2); D.C. Cir. Rule 34(j). Upon consideration of the foregoing and the motions for a hearing and for an injunction, it is
ORDERED that the motions for a hearing and for an injunction be denied. Appellant has shown no basis for the requested relief. It is
FURTHER ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that the district court's order filed April 24, 2018 be affirmed. The district court correctly concluded that it lacked jurisdiction to review a Maryland state court decision. See Lance v. Dennis, 546 U.S. 459, 463, 126 S.Ct. 1198, 163 L.Ed.2d 1059 (2006) (“[U]nder what has come to be known as the Rooker-Feldman doctrine, lower federal courts are precluded from exercising appellate jurisdiction over final state-court judgments.”).
Pursuant to D.C. Circuit Rule 36, this disposition will not be published. The Clerk is directed to withhold issuance of the mandate herein until seven days after resolution of any timely petition for rehearing or petition for rehearing en banc. See Fed. R. App. P. 41(b); D.C. Cir. Rule 41.
