U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 10-2405
U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas - Jonesboro
[PUBLISHED] [Colloton, Author, with Gruender and Shepherd, Circuit Judges]
Civil case - Section 1983. Rooker-Feldman doctrine did not apply to the
claims related to injuries causes by invasion of plaintiff's land by methane
gas emanating from defendant's land fill or to his just compensation claim
under the Fifth Amendment; however, the claims were precluded by an
earlier state court judgment and plaintiff could not avoid claim preclusion
by including language in the state court complaint purporting to reserve
his federal rights.
