MEMORANDUM

Victoria Giampa appeals pro se from the district court’s judgment dismissing her 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action alleging various federal and state law claims stemming from divorce and custody proceedings, and its order deeming her a vexatious litigant. We review de novo the district court’s dismissal for failure to state a claim, United States v.
