Kevin TOLLIVER, Plaintiff,
v.
LIBERTY MUTUAL FIRE INS. CO., Defendant.
No. 2:06-CV-0904.
United States District Court, S.D. Ohio, Eastern Division.
August 13, 2007.
*261 Kevin A. Tolliver, Chillicothe, OH, pro se.
William M. Harter, Frost Brown Todd LLC, Columbus, OH, for Defendant.

ORDER
MARBLEY, District Judge.
On April 12, 2007, the Magistrate Judge issued a Report and Recommendation recommending that the defendant's motion to dismiss be denied. Objections have been filed. After a de novo review of those objections, the Court overrules the objections, adopts the Report and Recommendation, and denies the motion to dismiss.

I.
The basic facts relating to this matter are set forth in the Report and Recommendation of April 12, 2007, and will not *262 be repeated here. Essentially, plaintiff, Kevin A. Tolliver, a state prisoner, previously litigated in the state courts some legal issues with his insurer, Liberty Mutual Fire Insurance Company, concerning a property loss claim which occurred at an apartment rented by Mr. Tolliver's fiancee, whom he has since been convicted of murdering. The state court case was dismissed because Mr. Tolliver was in prison and failed to appear for a scheduled trial. The dismissal was upheld on appeal, and it appears that the state court proceedings are now final.
Mr. Tolliver's complaint in this case raises additional claims against Liberty Mutual. Liberty Mutual asserted in its motion to dismiss that because, if the Court were to rule in Mr. Tolliver's favor on these claims, it would, in effect, be reversing the state court's judgment against Mr. Tolliver, this court lacks jurisdiction to hear his complaint under the Rooker-Feldman doctrine. The Magistrate Judge disagreed. For the following reasons, and after reviewing the issue de novo, the Court concludes that the Magistrate Judge's legal ruling was correct.

II.
Liberty Mutual, in its objections, acquiesces in the statement of legal principles contained in the Report and Recommendation. Consequently, the Court will not repeat the discussion which occurs on pages three through eight of the Report and Recommendation. Liberty Mutual claims that the Magistrate Judge simply misapplied the Rooker-Feldman doctrine to the facts of this case.
In support of its argument, Liberty Mutual relies upon a number of cases which, with one exception, are unreported decisions from Courts of Appeals other than the Sixth Circuit or District Court cases outside of this circuit. See defendant Liberty Mutual Fire Insurance Company's objection at 6. Most of those decisions predated the United States Supreme Court's ruling in Exxon Mobil Corp. v. Saudi Basic Industries Corp., 544 U.S. 280, 125 S.Ct. 1517, 161 L.Ed.2d 454 (2005), a decision which significantly restricted a trend in many lower courts' applying the Rooker-Feldman doctrine to cases where the district court actually had jurisdiction, but where traditional issue or claim preclusion principles might bar re-litigation of the same issues which were litigated in a related state court action. The two decisions cited by Liberty Mutual which post-date Exxon Mobil are Williams v. Liberty Mutual Insurance Co., 2005 WL 776170 (5th Cir. April 7, 2005)(unreported) and Juricko v. Allison, 2006 WL 2927304 (E.D.Pa. October 10, 2006)(unreported). Neither of those decisions persuades the Court that the Report and Recommendation erred in its application of the Rooker-Feldman doctrine to this case.
Williams v. Liberty Mutual Insurance Co. was decided only eight days after Exxon Mobil. Without significant analysis, the court concluded that the plaintiff's claims, which had also been litigated in state court, were "inextricably intertwined" with the merits of the state court decision and therefore a federal court decision would be, in effect, an appellate review of that decision which is not permitted by 28 U.S.C. § 1257, the statute which vests exclusive jurisdiction of appeals from state court decisions in the United States Supreme Court. The Williams decision has been cited only once since it was decided, and only in an unreported district court case, and it appears to be inconsistent with Exxon Mobil. In particular, Exxon Mobil explained that when issue preclusion or claim preclusion barred a subsequent suit in federal court after a state court decision had been rendered, Rooker-Feldman was likely inapplicable. Rooker-Feldman applies only where the plaintiff claims to *263 have been directly injured by the way in which the state court case was adjudicated rather than when the plaintiff is merely dissatisfied with the outcome of that case. In Williams, however, the Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit indicated that the plaintiff's claims were also subject to dismissal under the doctrine of issue preclusion, a conclusion that is typically inconsistent with Exxon Mobil's limitation on the use of the Rooker-Feldman doctrine.
Juricko v. Allison, even though it was decided in 2006, does not cite Exxon Mobil at all. Rather, it relied upon cases from the Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit such as ITT Corp. v. Intelnet International Corp., 366 F.3d 205 (3rd Cir.2004) which pre-dated the Supreme Court's Exxon Mobil decision. In fact, it was the Third Circuit's decision in Exxon Mobil which was overruled by the United States Supreme Court because the Third Circuit had, using the "inextricably intertwined" test, expanded the Rooker-Feldman doctrine beyond its original contours. Any case continuing to rely on pre-2005 Third Circuit precedent is therefore inherently suspect. Thus, neither of these decisions is particularly persuasive.
As Exxon Mobil explained, 28 U.S.C. § 1257, as interpreted through the Rooker-Feldman doctrine, "does [not] stop a district court from exercising subject-matter jurisdiction simply because a party attempts to litigate in a federal court a matter previously litigated in state court." Exxon Mobil, 544 U.S. at 293, 125 S.Ct. 1517. Such re-litigation may be precluded by doctrines of issue or claim preclusion, but not necessarily by Rooker-Feldman. Rather, if independent claims brought by a plaintiff in federal court after the plaintiff has lost a suit in state court have the effect of denying "a legal conclusion of the state court" that "does not lead to divestment of subject matter jurisdiction in the federal courts. Instead, the Supreme Court has instructed that preclusion law is the appropriate solution for these independent claims." McCormick v. Braverman, 451 F.3d 382, 392 (6th Cir.2006).
That is the situation here. Mr. Tolliver has attempted to bring claims which he did not litigate in the state court proceeding. Whether he should have raised those claims in that case and is therefore barred by the entry of judgment in the state court from pursuing them here is an issue to be determined under the traditional doctrine of res judicata. Because he does not claim that the state court decision was entered in error, however, nor does he seek to have this court correct erroneous legal proceedings in that case or reverse the judgment of the state court, this court has jurisdiction to hear his claims. Consequently, because the only ground asserted in Liberty Mutual's motion to dismiss was that Mr. Tolliver's claims are barred by the Rooker-Feldman doctrine, that motion is appropriately overruled. The overruling is, of course, without prejudice to Liberty Mutual's ability to assert, in an appropriate motion, any issue preclusion or claim preclusion arguments it might have concerning Mr. Tolliver's attempt to re-litigate issues which were or could have been raised in the state courts.

III.
For the foregoing reasons, the objections to the Magistrate Judge's Report and Recommendation (# 30) are OVERRULED and the Report and Recommendation is ADOPTED. Liberty Mutual's motion to dismiss plaintiff's amended complaint (# 17) is DENIED.

REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
KEMP, United States Magistrate Judge.
This matter is before the Court on Defendant Liberty Mutual Fire Insurance *264 Company's ("Liberty Mutual") Motion to Dismiss Plaintiff's Amended Complaint (Doc. 17). Also pending before the Court are Plaintiff Kevin Tolliver's Motion to Consolidate Cases (Doc. 8), Motion to Strike Defendant's Response to Plaintiff's Motion to Consolidate Under One Judge (Doc. 18), Motion for Leave to Amend Complaint in Case of Rooker-Feldman Bar (Doc. 20), Motion to Strike Motion for Leave to Amend Complaint in Case of Rooker-Feldman Bar (Doc. 24), and Motion for Extension of Time (Doc. 25). For the following reasons, the Court recommends that Liberty Mutual's Motion to Dismiss Plaintiff's Amended Complaint be denied. Because of this recommendation, Mr. Tolliver's Motion to Consolidate Cases (Doc. 8), Motion to Strike Defendant's Response to Plaintiff's Motion to Consolidate Under One Judge (Doc. 18), and Motion for Leave to Amend Complaint in Case of Rooker-Feldman Bar (Doc. 20) are moot. The Court also recommends that Mr. Tolliver's Motion to Strike Motion for Leave to Amend Complaint in Case of Rooker-Feldman Bar (Doc. 24) be granted and Motion for Extension of Time (Doc. 25) be denied.

I.
Plaintiff, Kevin Tolliver, is an inmate at the Ross Correctional Institution in Chillicothe, Ohio. However, this case does not arise out of his imprisonment. Rather, Mr. Tolliver alleges that his belongings were stolen from his fiancee's apartment on 100 North Street at some point during his arrest and incarceration at that address. These belongings were covered under an insurance policy purchased by him and his mother and issued by defendant Liberty Mutual.
Mr. Tolliver presented a claim to Liberty Mutual for the value of the goods allegedly stolen. Liberty Mutual denied the claims on the basis that Mr. Tolliver had misrepresented where he actually lived. Mr. Tolliver appears to have previously sued Liberty Mutual in Ohio state court. In this case, however, at least in his amended complaint, Mr. Tolliver has raised different claims, including fraud, bad faith, abuse of process, a lack of fair dealing, and malicious prosecution, based on the fact that 1) Liberty Mutual allegedly made false statements to the Ohio Department of Insurance; 2) Liberty Mutual refused to cooperate in discovery in the prior state court litigation; and 3) Liberty Mutual used a "malicious" litigation strategy despite knowledge of the "erroneous nature of their [sic] denial." (Amend. Compl. at 2, 9-12).
Liberty Mutual filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint pursuant to Fed. R.Civ.P. 12(b)(1) and 12(b)(6). It asserts that under the Rooker-Feldman doctrine, this Court lacks subject-matter jurisdiction. Thereafter, Mr. Tolliver filed a motion for leave to amend his complaint in the event that the Court found that Rooker-Feldman did bar Mr. Tolliver's claims. Mr. Tolliver subsequently filed a motion to strike his own motion for leave to amend. The motion to dismiss is now fully briefed and ripe for adjudication.

II.
Liberty Mutual's motion to dismiss was filed pursuant to Fed.R.Civ.P. 12(b)(1) and (6). The Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals has distinguished between facial and factual attacks among motions to dismiss for lack of subject-matter jurisdiction pursuant to Rule 12(b)(1). Pritchard v. Dent Wizard Intern. Corp., 210 F.R.D. 591, 592 (S.D.Ohio 2002). A facial attack on subject-matter jurisdiction merely questions the sufficiency of the pleading. Ohio Nat. Life Ins. Co. v. U.S., 922 F.2d 320, 325 (6th Cir.1990). In reviewing such a facial attack, the trial court must regard the allegations in the complaint as true, just as it *265 does when ruling on a Rule 12(b)(6) motion to dismiss for failure to state a claim. Id.
A motion to dismiss under Rule 12(b)(6), however, requires this Court to construe the complaint in the light most favorable to the plaintiff, accept all of the complaint's factual allegations as true, and determine whether the plaintiff undoubtedly can prove no set of facts in support of the claims that would entitle relief. Meador v. Cabinet for Human Resources, 902 F.2d 474, 475 (6th Cir.1990), cert. denied, 498 U.S. 867, 111 S.Ct. 182, 112 L.Ed.2d 145 (1990). "However, while liberal, this standard of review does require more than the bare assertion of legal conclusions." Columbia Natural Res., Inc. v. Tatum, 58 F.3d 1101, 1109 (6th Cir.1995); see also Chapman v. City of Detroit, 808 F.2d 459, 465 (6th Cir.1986) ("It is not enough for a complaint . . . to contain mere conclusory allegations of unconstitutional conduct by persons acting under color of state law. Some factual basis for such claims must be set forth in the pleadings"). In the instant case, Liberty Mutual's motion is a facial attack because it only appears to attack the sufficiency of the pleadings, despite its invocation of 12(b)(6) in addition to 12(b)(1). Thus, the Court assumes the truth of Mr. Tolliver's allegations for purposes of ruling on the motion.

III.
Generally, the Rooker-Feldman doctrine is based on two cases arising out of the United States Supreme Court. See Exxon Mobil Corp. v. Saudi Basic Industries Corp., 544 U.S. 280, 125 S.Ct. 1517, 161 L.Ed.2d 454 (2005). The first, Rooker v. Fidelity Trust Co., 263 U.S. 413, 44 S.Ct. 149, 68 L.Ed. 362 (1923) was brought by plaintiffs seeking a declaratory judgment in federal court to overturn the decision of the Indiana state courts concerning a particular state statute. The plaintiffs claimed federal jurisdiction on the basis that the state court's erroneous decision violated the Contract Clause as well as the Due Process and Equal Protection Clauses of the Fourteenth Amendment. Rooker, 263 U.S. at 415-16, 44 S.Ct. 149. In the second case, District of Columbia Court of Appeals v. Feldman, 460 U.S. 462, 103 S.Ct. 1303, 75 L.Ed.2d 206 (1983), several non-ABA law school graduates filed an action in the local courts for the District of Columbia challenging the validity of the District of Columbia's rule that non-ABA law school graduates were denied admission to the District of Columbia's bar without exception and were prohibited from sitting for the District of Columbia's bar examination. Feldman, 460 U.S. at 465-468, 103 S.Ct. 1303. The plaintiffs lost the appeal and sought to challenge the decision in the District Court for the District of Columbia, claiming violations of the Fifth Amendment and of the Sherman Act. Id. at 468-69, 103 S.Ct. 1303.
The Court emphasized in Rooker and in Feldman that only the United States Supreme Court can reverse or modify a state court judgment, and that federal district courts may only exercise original, not appellate jurisdiction. See Exxon Mobil Corp., 544 U.S. at 283, 125 S.Ct. 1517. Since the complaints in those cases effectively asked the district court to correct alleged errors in the state court or local court proceedings, the district courts simply lacked jurisdiction to do so. Furthermore, in Feldman, the Supreme Court rejected the plaintiffs' challenge in part because it found the issues they had raised in the federal suit were "inextricably intertwined" with the ones presented to the local court. Feldman, 460 U.S. at 486-87, 103 S.Ct. 1303. Thus, if a, case appeared to fall within the limits of this doctrine, a federal court could dismiss the case based on a lack of subject-matter jurisdiction. See id. at 283-84, 125 S.Ct. 1517.
*266 In recent years, through various opinions at the District Court and Court of Appeals levels, the scope of the Rooker-Feldman doctrine expanded far beyond the two limited cases described above. The doctrine was seen as almost synonymous with the doctrines of claim and issue preclusion. Id. at 283, 125 S.Ct. 1517 (Rooker-Feldman had been extended "far beyond the contours of the Rooker and Feldman cases, overriding Congress' conferral of federal-court jurisdiction concurrent with jurisdiction exercised by state courts, and superseding the ordinary application of preclusion law pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1738"). Prior to Exxon Mobil Corp. v. Saudi Basic Industries Corp., federal courts interpreted the Rooker-Feldman doctrine to bar suits filed in federal court whenever such suits presented issues which were "inextricably intertwined" with the issues in a case filed in a pending or previously resolved state suit, by the same plaintiff(s) or those in privity with the plaintiff(s). See, e.g., Exxon Mobil Corp. v. Saudi Basic Industries Corp., 364 F.3d 102, 106 (3d Cir.2004); Lance v. Dennis, 546 U.S. 459, 126 S.Ct. 1198, 1202, 163 L.Ed.2d 1059 (2006) (explaining how federal courts mistakenly conflated preclusion doctrine, which May bar a nonparty or nonparties in privity with the original party or parties from bringing suit in federal court after resolution of the case in state court, with the Rooker-Feldman doctrine, which is only a bar to the original party or parties in the state suit).
Exxon Mobil, however, heralded a return to Rooker-Feldman's original and limited scope. See Exxon Mobil Corp., 544 U.S. 280, 125 S.Ct. 1517, 161 L.Ed.2d 454. In Exxon Mobil, the Saudi Basic Industries Corp. (SABIC) sued two subsidiaries of Exxon Mobil in the Delaware Superior Court in July 2000, seeking a declaratory judgment. Two weeks later, Exxon Mobil and its subsidiaries filed an action against SABIC in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey. More than a year later, Exxon Mobil incorporated those same claims into a counterclaim filed in the state court action. That case then went to trial, and a verdict was returned in Exxon Mobil's favor.
Prior to the commencement of the trial in the Delaware Superior Court, SABIC moved to dismiss the federal suit in the New Jersey district court based on immunity under the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act of 1976. Id. at 289-90, 125 S.Ct. 1517. The district court denied the motion to dismiss and SABIC filed an interlocutory appeal in the Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit.
Based on the fact that the state court case had been reduced to judgment (although that judgment had been appealed), the Court of Appeals raised the issue of whether the federal suit should be dismissed for lack of subject-matter jurisdiction. The Court of Appeals reasoned that if SABIC won on appeal in the Delaware Supreme Court, Exxon Mobil might attempt to use the federal court case to overturn the state court judgment. This, the Court of Appeals reasoned, was prohibited by "Rooker-Feldman's `inextricably intertwined' bar." Id. at 291, 125 S.Ct. 1517 (citation omitted).
The Supreme Court reversed the decision of the Third Circuit Court of Appeals. The Rooker-Feldman doctrine, the Court concluded, is not meant to be a substitute for various preclusion doctrines. Instead, it is a limited doctrine which only serves to bar those rare cases which involve "state-court losers complaining of injuries rendered before the district court proceedings commenced and inviting district court review and rejection of those judgments." Id. at 284, 125 S.Ct. 1517. Furthermore, a plaintiff in a federal suit, either preceding or following the filing (and even the resolution) of a state court suit, may present an *267 "independent claim." Id. at 293, 125 S.Ct. 1517 (citations omitted). Such suits are not barred by the Rooker-Feldman doctrine, even if the claims presented in the federal suit would "den[y] a legal conclusion that a state court has reached in a case to which [the plaintiff] was a party." Id. at 292-93, 125 S.Ct. 1517.
Following Exxon Mobil, the Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit has sought to illustrate further the difference between a case which would be barred by the Rooker-Feldman doctrine and one which would not. See Abbott v. Michigan, 474 F.3d 324 (6th Cir.2007). In that case, the court explained that a parent whose parental rights are terminated and who then sues in federal court on the grounds that the state court violated his federal substantive due-process rights as a parent would be barred from suing because he would be alleging injury from a state court decision. Id. at 328-31. On the other hand, an employee who sues an employer in state court for violations of state and federal anti-discrimination law, and then brings the same suit in federal court, would not be barred by the Rooker-Feldman doctrine because the plaintiff would not be alleging injury from the state court's decision. Id.; cf. Thomas v. Eby, 481 F.3d 434 (6th Cir.2007) (finding case not barred by Rooker-Feldman because plaintiff complained of injury in federal suit based on alleged retaliation, rather than from injury because state court dismissed original suit). Such a claim might be barred due to claim or issue preclusion, but the district court would still have jurisdiction to hear the case. Thus, it is clear that a federal suit involving claims also being litigated (or which were litigated) in a state court may not be dismissed on jurisdictional grounds simply because those claims are "inextricably intertwined" with the issues raised in state court. But see Thomas D. Rowe, Jr. & Edward L. Baskauskas, "Inextricably Intertwined" Explicable at Last? Rooker-Feldman Analysis After the Supreme Court's Exxon Mobil Decision, 1 Fed. Courts L.Rev. 367, 373, 377-82 (2006) (suggesting that "inextricably intertwined" no longer a threshold question for issues, but holding out the possibility that this analysis may still be relevant where Rooker-Feldman doctrine only partially applicable).
In this case, Liberty Mutual asserts that Mr. Tolliver's federal claims, although different from the ones he asserted in state court, are "inextricably intertwined" with his prior suit and are thus barred by the Rooker-Feldman doctrine. It asserts that because Mr. Tolliver has brought "inextricably intertwined" claims, this Court would, if it ruled in his favor, necessarily review and possibly overturn the judgment of the state court, an act which the Court is without jurisdiction to perform.
Although Mr. Tolliver is a "state-court loser," he has not sued in this Court claiming any injuries caused as a result of the state court's rulings. Instead, Mr. Tolliver claims, inter alia, injury from Liberty Mutual's "malicious prosecution," refusal to cooperate in the state suit, and fraud. These claims are not injuries from the state court's decision itself. Instead, they are injuries claimed as a result of Liberty Mutual's conduct in the prior lawsuit. In fact, in his amended complaint, Mr. Tolliver explicitly states that this federal case is a "new suit based upon fraud . . . and is not a continuation of that same case." (Pl's Amended Compl., at 3). Additionally, in his supplemental brief, he also states that he "is not challenging any decision or ruling by the State Court." (Supplemental Brief, at 2).
As explained above, the Rooker-Feldman doctrine will not bar a suit absent a claim of injury resulting from the state court decision, even if the claims are "inextricably intertwined." See Abbott, *268 474 F.3d at 328-29. Thus, Mr. Tolliver's case falls outside the limited scope of the Rooker-Feldman doctrine because Mr. Tolliver has made no such claims of injury. His complaint does not fail for lack of subject-matter jurisdiction under the Rooker-Feldman doctrine, and therefore cannot be dismissed pursuant to Fed. R.Civ.P. 12(b)(1).
In addition, Liberty Mutual gives no further detail as to why Mr. Tolliver's complaint must be dismissed under Fed. R.Civ.P. 12(b)(6). Thus, Mr. Tolliver's Amended Complaint also does not fail under Fed.R.Civ.P. 12(b)(6).

IV.
The Court now turns to the other pending motions. First, Mr. Tolliver's Motion for Leave to Amend Complaint is based solely on whether Liberty Mutual's motion to dismiss succeeds. (Doc. 20). Thus, because the Court recommends that the motion to dismiss be denied, the motion to amend is moot. However, Mr. Tolliver himself has recognized that the motion was procedurally improper in his Motion to Strike Motion for Leave to Amend Complaint in Case of Rooker-Feldman bar (Doc. 24). Thus, his motion to strike his prior motion should be granted.
Second, plaintiff's Motion to Consolidate Cases is based on his claim that both cases are interrelated and for reasons of judicial economy. However, his other case has already been dismissed. Thus, Mr. Tolliver's motion is moot. In addition, his Motion to Strike Defendant's Response to Plaintiff's Motion to Consolidate Under One Judge is also moot.
Finally, Mr. Tolliver need hot file any further briefs on this particular issue because the Court recommends that Liberty Mutual's Motion to Dismiss be denied. Therefore, his Motion for Extension of Time (Doc. 25) will be denied.

V.
Based on the foregoing, the Court RECOMMENDS that Defendant's Motion to Dismiss (Doc. 17) be DENIED. Subsequently, Plaintiff's Motion for Leave to Amend Complaint (Doc. 20), Motion to Consolidate Cases (Doc. 8) and Motion to Strike Defendant's Response to Plaintiff s Motion to Consolidate Under One Judge (Doc. 18) are MOOT. Finally, the Court RECOMMENDS that Plaintiff's Motion to Strike Motion for Leave to Amend Complaint in Case of Rooker-Feldman Bar (Doc. 24) be GRANTED and the Motion for Extension of Time (Doc. 25) be DENIED.
