Question presented
Does the Rooker-Feldman Doctrine apply to two Void [not voidable but, void] “proposed” State Court Rulings produced by a former Associate Judge, who failed to acquire authority from the Judge of Record for the Dallas County Probate Court or the State Probate Court Judge, as required by State Law, to enter a Dal las County Probate Court and who failed to obtain a sign-off of his rulings from the Judge of Record within 30 days of their creation, as required by State Law? For the record, John B. Peyton Jr., Associate Judge who created the now expired Proposed Orders, which remain unsigned by the Judge of Record, has been re moved as a Judge by the State of Texas as the State has deemed him to be “unfit.”
