Upon careful review  of the briefs and                      __________            record,   we  conclude  that   the  district  court  properly            dismissed appellant's complaint,  essentially for the reasons            stated  by the magistrate judge  and the district  court.  We            add only the following comments.                      Contrary to  appellant's arguments, we  perceive no            error  in the  dismissal  of appellant's  claims against  the            Maine  state court  judges.   Those claims  were inextricably            intertwined with  review of the state  court proceedings, and            so the  district court lacked subject  matter jurisdiction to            consider  them.  See District of Columbia Court of Appeals v.                             ___ _____________________________________            Feldman, 460 U.S.  462, 476 (1983); Rooker  v.

Fay, 909            ___                                  ___________     ___            F.2d 15, 17 (1st Cir. 1990).                      Further, we perceive no  abuse of discretion in the            district  court's decision  to dismiss  appellant's remaining            state claims, after his federal  claims were dismissed.
