   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  12-3912
   U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri - Cape Girardeau   
[PUBLISHED] [Chief Judge Riley, Author, with Bye and Gruender, Circuit Judges] Civil Case - diversity. District court did not err in dismissing identity theft tort claim in federal court for lack of subject matter jurisdiction under the domestic relations exception to federal jurisdiction brought by husband against his wife during pending state divorce proceedings, as the federal suit was inextricably intertwined with the state domestic proceeding. The federal suit would undermine the judgment of the state court and could effectively nullify part of the divorce court's judgment based on the same conduct.
