FDCPA: Rooker-Feldman Doctrine

  • Resler v. Messerli & Kramer, P.A. - SUMMARY JUDGMENT ORDER - USDC - CV-02-2510 PAM/RLE January 23, 2003 - District Court grants debt collector summary judgment on all but one claim, citing the Rooker-Feldman doctrine as the basis: "The first part of Resler’s FDCPA claim depends on the merits of his deceit-on-the [Minnesota state] court claim. As discussed above, because the resolution of that claim requires this Court to examine the state-court judgment, the Rooker-Feldman doctrine does not permit the Court to entertain the claim. Thus, to the extent Resler’s FDCPA claim rests on his contention that Defendants committed deceit on the [state] court, the [federal] Court may not consider it."
