Roberto v. Napoli

UNPUBLISHED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT No. 99-1757 In Re: MUZIO ROBERTO and MARY K. ROBERTO, Debtors. _________________________ MUZIO B. ROBERTO; MARY K. ROBERTO, Debtors - Appellants, versus JOSEPH NAPOLI; MARION NAPOLI, Creditors - Appellees. Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, at Greenbelt. Alexander Williams, Jr., District Judge. (CA-98-4097-AW, BK-98-12440-PM, 98-A1445-PM, CA-99-35-AW) Submitted: September 30, 1999 Decided: October 8, 1999 Before NIEMEYER, WILLIAMS, and MICHAEL, Circuit Judges. Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Muzio B. Roberto, Mary K. Roberto, Appellants Pro Se. Matthew Wilson Black, Jr., HEENEY, ARMSTRONG & HEENEY, Rockville, Maryland, for Appellees. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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.
