Mr.

Chief Justice, and may it please the Court.

Over the past century, this Court has found a lack of jurisdiction under the Rooker-Feldman doctrine in exactly two cases: Rooker and Feldman.

In both, the plaintiffs sought to challenge a final decision from a state high court, and both cases held that Section 1257 gives only this Court jurisdiction over that kind of judgment.

Most recently, the Court said the Rooker-Feldman doctrine should be confined to cases of the kind from which the doctrine acquired its name, yet lower courts haven't heeded that message.

Some continue to apply a jurisdictional bar far beyond Rooker and Feldman, but the correct rule is this: Rooker-Feldman applies only to cases that seek review and rejection of final judgments of state high courts.

[laughs] Rebuttal, Ms. Prellager.
