Lugo

MEMORANDUM **

Manuel David Lugo (“Lugo”) appeals from the judgment of the district court dismissing with prejudice his complaint alleging a cause of action under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 . We affirm the district court’s dismissal of the action.

Because we write for the parties, we recite the facts only to the extent necessary to our decision. The district court dismissed Lugo’s complaint on the grounds that Lugo’s claims were barred by res judicata and that Lugo failed to state a claim upon which relief could be granted. We may “affirm the district court’s dismissal on any ground supported by the record.” Wolfe v. Strankman, 392 F.3d 358, 362 (9th Cir.2004) (citing Ecological Rights Found, v. Pac. Lumber Co., 230 F.3d 1141, 1153 (9th Cir.2000)).

The Rooker-Feldman doctrine bars Lugo’s cause of action in federal court. There is no subject matter jurisdiction in federal district court over a direct appeal, or a de facto appeal, from a final state court judgment. Noel v.
