TEXT ORDER: Plaintiffs' Complaint asks the Court to "remand[]" their state court case (PC-2020-6575) "to the appropriate United States District Court" "[d]ue to serious irregularities of a probate court judge of Rhode Island." Compl. 7-8, ECF No. #1 . Further, Plaintiffs allege that a Rhode Island Superior Court judge "order[ed] deliver[y]... [of] a fake title of our plat card 776." Id. at 7. The Court takes judicial notice of the case referenced by Plaintiffs, a foreclosure proceeding in Providence/Bristol County Superior Court in which Plaintiff Mirca Benitez Caceres is a named defendant. See Jewel Assocs., L.P. v. Benitez, Case No. PC-2020-06575 (R.I. Super. Ct.); see also Kowalski v. Gagne, 914 F.2d 299, 305 (1st Cir. 1990) ("It is well-accepted that federal courts may take judicial notice of proceedings in other courts if those proceedings have relevance to the matters at hand."). In that case, on September 17, 2021, the court entered partial summary judgment against the defendant. Defendant Benitez failed to file a timely appeal. Because Plaintiffs ask the Court to interfere with a state court proceeding that has ended, this Court lacks subject matter jurisdiction under the Rooker-Feldman doctrine. Exxon Mobil Corp. v. Saudi Basic Indus. Corp., 544 U.S. 280, 284 (2005); Federacion de Maestros de P.R. v. Junta de Relaciones del Trabajo de P.R., 410 F.3d 17, 24 (1st Cir. 2005). Accordingly, this case is DISMISSED. So Ordered by District Judge William E. Smith on 11/30/2023. (Urizandi, Nissheneyra)
