PER CURIAM:
Reginald Evans appeals the district court’s order adopting the magistrate judge’s
recommendation and dismissing his third amended civil complaint as barred by the
Rooker-Feldman * doctrine. To the extent that Evans sought to directly challenge the
state court’s judgment in federal court, the district court correctly determined that it
lacked jurisdiction over his claims. See Thana v. Bd. of License Comm’rs for Charles
Cty., 827 F.3d 314, 319-20 (4th Cir. 2016) (discussing application of Rooker-Feldman
doctrine). Although the Rooker-Feldman doctrine would not bar Evans’ due process
claim, we affirm on the ground that Evans failed to state a viable claim as to the named
defendants. See Quesenberry v. Volvo Trucks N. Am. Retiree Healthcare Benefit Plan,
651 F.3d 437, 442 n.* (4th Cir. 2011) (“[W]e can affirm on any basis fairly supported by
the record.” (internal quotation marks omitted)). Accordingly, we affirm the district
court’s judgment. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal
contentions are adequately presented in the materials before this court and argument
would not aid the decisional process.
AFFIRMED

Rooker v. Fid. Trust Co., 263 U.S. 413 (1923); D.C. Ct. of Appeals v. Feldman,
460 U.S. 462 (1983).
