Opinion:
MEMORANDUM
Michael Hucul appeals pro se from the district court's judgment dismissing his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action alleging constitutional claims arising from state court proceedings. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo a district court's dismissal under the Rooker-Feldman doctrine. Maldonado v. Harris, 370 F.3d 945, 949 (9th Cir. 2004). We affirm.
The district court properly dismissed Hucul's action for lack of subject matter jurisdiction under the Rooker-Feldman doctrine because Hucul's action constituted a forbidden "de facto" appeal of prior state court orders. See Cooper v. Ramos, 704 F.3d 772, 777-78, 781 (9th Cir. 2012) (Rooker-Feldman doctrine deprives federal district courts of jurisdiction to hear direct and "de facto" appeals from state courts, including a federal complaint that is "frame[d] . as a constitutional challenge to the state court['s] decision[]" (citation and internal quotation marks omitted)); Henrichs v. Valley View Dev., 474 F.3d 609, 616 (9th Cir. 2007) (holding that Rook-er-Feldman doctrine barred plaintiffs claim because alleged legal injuries arose from the "state court's purportedly erroneous judgment" and the relief sought "would require the district court to determine that the state court's decision was wrong and thus void").
Contrary to Hucul's contention, the extrinsic fraud exception.to the Rooker-Feld-man doctrine does not apply because Hu-cul did not allege any facts showing that any adverse party prevented him from presenting his claims in state court. See Kougasian v. TMSL, Inc., 359 F.3d 1136, 1140-41 (9th Cir. 2004) (Rooker-Feldman doctrine does not apply if extrinsic fraud prevented a party from presenting his claim in state court).
We do not consider documents not presented to the district court. See United States v. Elias, 921 F.2d 870, 874 (9th Cir. 1990) ("Documents or facts not presented to the district court are not part of the record on appeal.").
Hon. Michael D. Washington's motion to take judicial notice (Docket Entry No. 41) is granted.
Hucul's motion to strike (Docket Entry No. 75) is denied.
AFFIRMED.
