   MEMORANDUM

Kathleen Marchetti appeals the district court’s dismissal of her suit asserting federal and state law claims arising from state court proceedings. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.

Marchetti’s complaint seeks, in substance, to vacate a default judgment entered against her in the San Francisco Superior Court. Marchetti failed to appear to contest a traffic citation related to operation of her unregistered vehicle. As a result, her driver’s license was suspended and fines were assessed. She was entitled to file a “Petition to Vacate Civil Assessment,” or seek a trial de novo on the underlying traffic infraction, but only within twenty (20) days from the date on which the Notice of Civil Assessment was mailed. See S.F. Super. Ct. Local Rule 17.1. She did not do so. Instead, she sought such review nearly eight months later. However, ' the state court deemed the matter closed. Marchetti then sought relief in federal court.

The district court dismissed Marchetti’s suit on a number of grounds, including that it was barred by the Rooker-Feldman doctrine. See Rooker v. Fid. Tr. Co., 263 U.S. 413, 44 S.Ct. 149, 68 L.Ed. 362 (1923); D.C. Court of Appeals v. Feldman, 460 U.S. 462, 103 S.Ct. 1303, 75 L.Ed.2d 206 (1983). We review de novo a district court’s dismissal under the Rooker-Feldman doctrine. Noel v. Hall, 341 F.3d 1148, 1154 (9th Cir. 2003). It is readily apparent that if Marchetti’s federal suit is allowed to proceed, her complaint would function as a de facto appeal of the prior state court judgment, in which she would raise issues “inextricably intertwined” with that judgment. See Cooper v. Ramos, 704 F.3d 772, 782 (9th Cir. 2012) (concluding that, where federal adjudication of a claim “would im-permissibly ‘undercut the state ruling1 on the same issues,” plaintiffs claim was “inextricably intertwined” with the state court’s decision (quoting Bianchi v. Rylaarsdam, 334 F.3d 895, 898 (9th Cir. 2003)); see also Henrichs v. Valley View Dev., 474 F.3d 609, 616 (9th Cir. 2007) (explaining that the Rooker-Feldman doctrine barred plaintiffs claim because the alleged legal injuries arose from the “state court’s purportedly erroneous judgment” and the relief sought “would require the district court to determine that the state court’s decision was wrong and thus void”).

Marchetti argues on appeal that her suit is not barred by Rooker-Feldman because, inter alia, she is asserting a facial constitutional challenge to the limited notice provisions of San Francisco Superior Court Local Rule 17.1. The complaint, however, does not adequately allege a general, facial challenge to the constitutionality of Local Rule 17.1. Instead, Marchetti’s complaint is focused on the Superior Court’s application of Local Rule 17.1 to her ease, and why that application to her case denied her due process. That is, her claim is that the state court got it wrong and she should be relieved of the default judgment’s effects. Accordingly, the suit is barred by Rooker-Feldman.

AFFIRMED.
