Ninth Circuit -- KEVIN COOPER V. MICHAEL RAMOS

Collateral challenge to conviction under S1983 by an as-applied challenge to state DNA testing statute is barred under Rooker-Feldman as a de facto federal review of (not appealed) state court judgement.

Dismissal without prejudice as to not-barred claims but silent as to leave to amend is sufficiently final for appeal.

No error in denial of leave to amend, as the claim was not salvageable.
