- 35030

Pliler , 627 F.3d 338, 341 (9th Cir. 2010) (dismissal under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(6)); Noel v. Hall , 341 F.3d 1148, 1154 (9th Cir. 2003) (dismissal under the Rooker

- Feldman doctrine). We affirm. The district court properly dismissed Thomason’s claims against defendants Moeller, Simpson, Lansing, Gratton, Gutierrez, J. Jones, Burdick, Eismann, Horton, and W. Jones because the district court lacked subject matter jurisdiction under the Ro oker

- Feldman doctrine. See id. at 1163

- 65 (discussing proper application of the Rooker

- Feldman doctrine); see also Henrichs v. Valley View
Dev. , 474 F.3d 609, 616 (9th Cir. 2007) ( Rooker

- Feldman doctrine barred plaintiff’s claim because the relief sought “would require the district court to determine that the state court’s decision was wrong and thus void”). Contrary to Thomason’s contention, the extrinsic fraud exception to the Rooker

- Feldman doctrine does not apply to her claims. The district court did not abuse its discretion by dismissing Thomason’s claims against defendant Washington Federal Savings for insufficient service of process because Thomason failed to demonstrate that service was valid under Federal Rule of Civil Proce dure 4. See Brockmeyer v. May , 383 F.3d 798, 801 (9th Cir. 2004) ( once service is challenged, plaintiff bears the burden of establishing that service was valid) ; Rio Props., Inc. v. Rio Int’l Interlink , 284 F.3d 1007, 1014 (9th Cir. 2002) (se tting forth s tandard of review); see also Fed. R. Civ. P. 4 (e)(1),3 18

- 35030

4 (h); Idaho R. Civ. P. 4(d)(1). The district court properly dismissed Thomason’s claims against the remaining defendants because Thomason failed to allege facts sufficient to state plausible claims. Se e Ashcroft v. Iqbal , 556 U.S. 662, 678, 681 (2009) (to avoid dismissal, “a complaint must contain sufficient factual matter, accepted as true, to state a claim to relief that is plausible on its face” and conclusory allegations are not entitled to be assum ed true (citation and internal quotation marks omitted)) ; Hebbe , 627 F.3d at 341

- 42 (although pro se pleadings are construed liberally, plaintiff must present factual allegations sufficient to state a plausible claim for relief); Cholla Ready Mix, Inc. v. Civish , 382 F.3d 969, 973 (9th Cir. 2004) (a party’s conclusory allegations, unwarranted deductions of fact, or unreasonable inferences need not be accepted as true). The district court did not abuse its discretion by taking judicial notice of Idaho state court proceedings because the documents were matters of public record or otherwise “not subject to reasonable dispute.” Fed. R. Evid. 201(b); see also Reyn’s Pasta Bella, LLC v. Visa USA, Inc. , 442 F.3d 741, 746 n.6 (9th Cir. 2006) (court may take judicia l notice of court filings and other matters of public record); Lee v. City of Los Angeles , 250 F.3d 668, 689 (9th Cir. 2001) (setting forth standard of review). The district court did not abuse its discretion by denying Thomason’s4 18

- 35030

motions for reconsiderati on because Thomason failed to demonstrate any basis for relief. See Sch. Dist. No. 1J, Multnomah Cty., Or. v. ACandS, Inc. , 5 F.3d 1255,
1262

- 63 (9th Cir. 1993) ( setting forth standard of review and grounds for reconsideration)

. We reject as without merit Thomason’s contentions regarding summary judgment , denial of a jury trial, and bias or misconduct on the part of the district
court. We do not consider matters not specifically and distinctly raised and argued in the opening bri ef

. See Padgett v. Wright , 587 F.3d 983, 985 n.2 (9th Cir. 2009). All pending motions and requests are denied.
AFFIRMED.
