    PER CURIAM.
    Marilyn Johnson obtained a guardianship under Arkansas law, over her father,
    Wayne King, and moved him to her home in California. King later returned to
    Arkansas, and eventually the guardianship was closed. King later brought this action
    against his daughter, asserting various constitutional and state law claims arising out
    of the guardianship and temporary move to California. The district court1 granted
    summary judgment to Johnson, and King appeals. We affirm.
    1
    The HONORABLE H. FRANKLIN WATERS, United States District Judge for the
    Western District of Arkansas.
    We have carefully reviewed the record and the parties’ submissions, including
    the papers from the guardianship proceeding, and those from King’s later petition for
    accounting against Johnson. We conclude that King’s claims in this proceeding are
    either barred under the Rooker-Feldman doctrine, under which lower federal courts
    may not review claims which are inextricably intertwined with claims asserted in a state
    court proceeding, see Charchenko v. City of Stillwater, 
    47 F.3d 981
    , 983 (8th Cir.
    1995); or are barred by principles of collateral estoppel, based on our prior opinion
    reversing the denial of qualified immunity to Johnson’s codefendant in King v. Beavers,
    
    148 F.3d 1031
    (8th Cir.), cert. denied, 
    119 S. Ct. 513
    (1998); or are meritless.
    Accordingly, we affirm the judgment of the district court. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
    A true copy.

    CLERK, U.S. COURT OF APPEALS, EIGHTH CIRCUIT.
