Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).

PER CURIAM:

     Muzio and Mary Roberto appeal from the district court’s order

affirming the bankruptcy court’s order dismissing their complaint

to recover $102,000.   Because the Robertos seek to set aside a

state court judgment, the bankruptcy court properly dismissed the

claim under the Rooker-Feldman doctrine.   See Rooker v. Fidelity

Trust Co., 263 U.S. 413 (1923); District of Columbia Court of

Appeals v. Feldman, 460 U.S. 462 (1983).   Accordingly, we affirm.

We deny the motions for sanctions and dispense with oral argument

because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in

the materials before the court and argument would not aid the

decisional process.

                                                          AFFIRMED
