Question presented

I. Does Rooker-Feldman cutoff Petitioner’s attack on Defendants-Respondents’ fraudulent inducement to the state courts to enter fraudulent orders of sanctions against him, based on fraudulent collateral estoppel of fraudulent judgments induced by fraud on the Petitioner’s clients, the courts and the state’s attorney general and in violation of rights secured by federal taxation and bankruptcy law to his clients? II. Does Rooker-Feldman cutoff Petitioner’s attack on the denial of his constitutional rights of free speech, petitioning and expressive association by state courts, and rights secured under federal taxation law and bankruptcy law, in an appeal of a disbarment decision instigated by opposing counselors at law and parties to a civil action against his clients? III. Is there a federal common law standard that the federal courts may use to judge punitive state judicial sanctions that conflict with federal civil rights law?
