U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 04-2162
Eastern District of Arkansas
[PUBLISHED] [Colloton, Author, with Melloy and Smith, Circuit
Judges]
Civil case - Civil rights. The portion of the plaintiff's complaint
seeking a declaration concerning the Arkansas Supreme Court
Committee on Professional Conduct's disciplinary proceedings against
her constitutes a challenge to the result of a state judicial proceeding, and
the Rooker-Feldman doctrine bars its consideration in federal court; to
the extent the complaint states only a facial challenge to Arkansas's Rules
of Professional Conduct, or a declaration with respect to past disciplinary
actions involving other black attorneys, plaintiff lacks standing to assert
the complaint because she has failed to allege an Article III case or
controversy.
