U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 15-1962
U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri - St. Louis
[PUBLISHED] [Kelly, Author, with Loken and Gruender, Circuit Judges]
Civil Case - bankruptcy. The district court and bankruptcy court erred in
concluding the Rooker- Feldman doctrine barred claims against ex-wife and
her attorney in enforcing state court's judgment after an automatic stay
was in place. The challenged actions involved claims in seeking and
executing the state contempt order not the state court orders themselves.
The case is remanded to the bankruptcy court to determine whether the
claims are precluded based on the state court's determination that the
automatic stay did not bar the contempt proceedings.
