993007P.pdf   08/03/2000  Rich Lemonds  v.  St. Louis County
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  99-3007
                          and No:  99-3930
   Eastern District of Missouri   
   Civil case - Section 1983. Suit to enjoin disincorporation of 
   municipality of Peerless Park, Missouri would, as a practical 
   matter, directly nullify the state court decision upholding 
   disincorporation and is barred by the Rooker-Feldman doctrine; 
   parties in the state and federal action need not be identical 
   for doctrine to apply, especially where the federal plaintiffs 
   had ample opportunity to raise their federal claims in state 
   court as they were city officials and were well aware of the 
   state action.
