 1   FOR DEFENDANT-APPELLEE:          Ross Lelin, pro se,

 3
 4        Appeal from a judgment of the United States District
 5   Court for the Southern District of New York (Batts, J.).
 6
 7        UPON DUE CONSIDERATION, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED, ADJUDGED,
 8   AND DECREED that the judgment is AFFIRMED.
 9
10        Appellants Manohar Shrestha and Renu Shrestha, pro se,
11   appeal the sua sponte dismissal of their complaint for lack
12   of subject matter jurisdiction, pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P.
13   12(h)(3), based on the Rooker-Feldman doctrine. We assume
14   the parties’ familiarity with the underlying facts, the
15   procedural history of the case, and the issues on appeal.
16
17        Upon such review, we conclude that the Shresthas’
18   appeal is without merit substantially for the reasons
19   articulated by the district court in its well-reasoned
20   order. Shrestha v. Lelin, No. 11-cv-4851 (S.D.N.Y. Oct. 24,
21   2011). We have considered all of the Shresthas’ remaining
22   arguments and find them to be without merit.
23
24        For the foregoing reasons, the judgment of the district
25   court is hereby AFFIRMED.
