MEMORANDUM**


2
Thomas J. Martin appeals pro se the district court's dismissal of his complaint as frivolous.  We affirm.


3
Federal district courts lack subject matter jurisdiction to review the final determinations of a state court in judicial proceedings.  See Branson v. Nott, 62 F.3d 287, 291 (9th Cir.1995).  "This is true even when the challenge to a state court decision involves federal constitutional issues."   Id.


4
In his complaint, Martin challenges an adverse decision of the Oregon Court of Appeals and the Oregon Supreme Court's order denying his petition for review of that decision.  The district court properly concluded that it lacked subject matter jurisdiction to review Martin's impermissible collateral attack on prior state court decisions.  See id. at 291-92.  We therefore affirm the district court's dismissal of Martin's complaint.

AFFIRMED.1
