A. Edward Ezor appeals pro se from the district court’s judgment dismissing his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action challenging his California State Bar disbarment proceedings. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo a dismissal under the doctrine. Noel v. Hall , 341 F.3d 1148, 1154 *2 (9th Cir. 2003). We affirm.

The district court properly concluded that it lacked subject matter jurisdiction under the Rooker-Feldman doctrine because Ezor’s action amounted to a forbidden “de facto appeal” of a prior, final state court judgment. Id. at 1163; Bianchi v. Rylaarsdam , 334 F.3d 895, 901-02 (9th Cir. 2003) (constitutional claim against state court judge for bias was “inextricably intertwined” with the state court’s decision, and thus beyond the federal court’s subject matter jurisdiction). Contrary to Ezor’s contention, the extrinsic fraud exception to the Rooker-Feldman doctrine does not apply because the alleged fraud was litigated in the state action. See Reusser v. Wachovia Bank, N.A , 525 F.3d 855, 859-60 (9th Cir. 2008) ( doctrine bars a claim of extrinsic fraud if the alleged fraud has been separately litigated in a state action).

The district court did not abuse its discretion by dismissing the action without leave to amend because amendment would be futile. See Lopez v. Smith , 203 F.3d 1122, 1130 (9th Cir. 2000) (standard of review).

The district court did not abuse its discretion in denying Ezor’s motion to recuse Magistrate Judge Rosenberg. See United States v. Johnson , 610 F.3d 1138, 1147-48 (9th Cir. 2010) (setting forth standard of review and grounds for recusal).

We do not consider matters not specifically and distinctly raised and argued in the opening brief, or arguments and allegations raised for the first time on *3 appeal. See Padgett v. Wright , 587 F.3d 983, 985 n.2 (9th Cir. 2009).

AFFIRMED.
