Douglas Bruce v. City and County of Denver, Colorado, et al.
Paid petition · United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit, No. 21-1388 · judgment January 10, 2023
Before the decision, well below the 4.1% base rate, with no standout signals pointing toward a grant.
Question presented
Does the Rooker-Feldman doctrine preclude the District Court from recognizing subject matter jurisdiction over the claims filed by Mr. Bruce in federal court when Mr. Bruce was never made a party to, nor allowed to participate fully in, the state court litigation which formed the basis for the District Court’s refusal to exercise subject matter jurisdiction?
