    Before BYE, BOWMAN, and BENTON, Circuit Judges.
    ___________
    PER CURIAM.
    Michael O’Grady appeals the district court’s1 order dismissing as Rooker-
    Feldman2 barred his complaint alleging wrongs stemming from his 1997 divorce,
    custody, and support proceedings. The dismissal order also required O’Grady to
    obtain permission from the Chief Judge of the United States District Court of the
    District of Minnesota before filing in that court any future action containing similar
    allegations. Upon review, we find no basis for reversal. See Skit Int’l, Ltd. v. DAC
    Tech. of Ark., Inc., 
    487 F.3d 1154
    , 1156-57 (8th Cir. 2007) (de novo review of district
    court’s dismissal for lack of subject matter jurisdiction; Rooker-Feldman doctrine
    prohibits lower federal courts from exercising appellate review of state-court
    judgments); cf. Sassower v. Carlson, 
    930 F.2d 583
    , 584 (8th Cir. 1991) (per curiam)
    (enjoining vexatious litigant from filing civil actions in Minnesota district court
    without first obtaining leave). Accordingly, the judgment of the district court is
    affirmed. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
    ______________________________
    1
    The Honorable Michael J. Davis, Chief Judge, United States District Court for
    the District of Minnesota, adopting the report and recommendations of the Honorable
    Susan Richard Nelson, United States Magistrate Judge for the District of Minnesota.
