    The US Court of Appeals for the First Circuit affirmed the district court's dismissal of Sandra Singer's complaint against George Davis, Primo Realty Trust, and others. The appeals court concluded that the district court lacked jurisdiction to consider Singer's claims, as they were inextricably intertwined with a prior state court proceeding. The allegations of denial of due process were also vague and unsupported.

    SANDRA SINGER,

    Plaintiff, Appellant,

    v.

    GEORGE DAVIS, JOINT VENTURE,


    PRIMO REALTY TRUST, DAVIS LIQUIDATIONS
    TRUST, DIANA DAVIS,

    Defendants, Appellees.

    APPEALS FROM THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

    FOR THE DISTRICT OF MASSACHUSETTS

    [Hon. Robert E. Keeton, U.S. District Judge]

    Before

    Selya, Boudin and Lynch,


    Circuit Judges.

    Sandra M. Singer on brief pro se.


    Stewart A. Engel on brief for appellees.

    September 16, 1999

    Per Curiam.

    Upon review of the briefs and record, we

    conclude that the district court properly dismissed plaintiff's


    complaint.

    The issues raised, even were they not vague and

    unsupported, were inextricably intertwined with review of the


    state court proceedings.

    Accordingly, the district court

    lacked jurisdiction to consider those claims.

    See District of

    Columbia Court of Appeals v. Feldman, 460 U.S. 462, 476 (1983);


    Rooker v. Fidelity Trust Co., 263 U.S. 413, 415-16 (1923);
    Lancellotti v. Fay, 909 F.2d 15, 17 (1st Cir. 1990).
    Plaintiff's vague and unsupported allegations of denial of due
    process did not require any other result, and we find no merit
    in plaintiff's specific appellate arguments to the contrary.
    Affirmed.

    See 1st Cir. Loc. R. 27.1.
