Question Presented (from Petition)

Whether Rooker-Feldman can be used to prevent parties from asserting their contractual rights, and new independent claims for relief based on statutes, when there are new and distinct acts of fraud, concealment, and abuse in the years following a state court judgment.

Whether Rooker-Feldman takes precedence over the clear language of the Federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ("FDCPA"), 15 U.S.C. §§ 1692 et seq., and the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act ("RICO"), 18 U.S.C. §§ 1961-1968, thus undermining the very purpose of these statutes.

Question Presented (AI Summary)

Whether Rooker-Feldman can be used to prevent parties from asserting their contractual rights, and new independent claims for relief based on statutes, when there are new and distinct acts of fraud, concealment, and abuse in the years following a state court judgment
