023694P.pdf   01/13/2004  Geraldine Davis  v.  Mike Huckabee
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  02-3694
                          and No:  02-3695
   Eastern District of Arkansas   
   Civil case - Civil Rights. District court erred in holding it lacked 
   jurisdiction under the Rooker-Feldman doctrine to consider claims by 
   five members of the Phillips County, Arkansas, Quorum Court that their 
   federal civil rights were violated when they were incarcerated following 
   their refusal to vote in favor of an ordinance that would have referred a 
   tax initiative to Phillips County voters; when a state court refuses to 
   consider federal claims and rests its decision solely on state law, the 
   Rooker-Feldman doctrine does not prevent plaintiffs from raising the 
   claims in federal court. (PUBLISHED)
