O R D E R
As a result of a series of state-court proceedings, Antonia Gonzalez-Nunez was
involuntarily committed to a hospital for medical treatment and lost custody of her two
children. She responded, as relevant here, by bringing four separate lawsuits against

Nos. 24-1131, 24-1132, 24-1141 & 24-1142 Page 3
judges and court officials involved in her proceedings.1 Gonzalez-Nunez’s complaints
are difficult to follow, but generally she alleged that the judges and officials were
“corrupt,” conspired against her, abused their authority, and “acted as counsel” to other
parties. In each complaint, she requested that the district court set aside or “void” state-
court orders and award her damages.
In each of the cases, the district court dismissed her complaint, determining that
the Rooker-Feldman doctrine deprived it of jurisdiction to review the state-court
proceedings. See Rooker v. Fid. Tr. Co., 263 U.S. 413, 416 (1923); D.C. Ct. of Appeals v.
Feldman, 460 U.S. 462, 482 (1983). Also in each case, the court added that the defendants
whom Gonzalez-Nunez wished to sue were protected by judicial immunity.
Gonzalez-Nunez filed separate appeals with this court. Because the appeals arise
from a similar factual background, we consolidate them for disposition. Her briefs,
however, do not comply with Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure 28(a)(8). She does
not engage with the district court’s jurisdictional bases for dismissing her lawsuits nor
cite relevant legal authority. Instead, she offers only perfunctory arguments concerning
the district court’s alternative conclusion that her lawsuits were barred by judicial
immunity. We construe pro se briefs leniently, but an appellate brief must contain a
discernible argument supported by citations to legal authority. See Anderson v. Hardman,
241 F.3d 544, 545 (7th Cir. 2001). We therefore dismiss her appeals as frivolous.
Gonzalez-Nunez filed each of these appeals before we warned her in Gonzalez-
Nunez v. Verser, 2024 WL 1635255, at *1 (7th Cir. Apr. 16, 2024), that further frivolous
appeals may result in sanctions, including fines that, if unpaid, may result in a Mack
bar. See Support Sys. Int’l, Inc. v. Mack, 45 F.3d 185, 186 (7th Cir. 1995). That warning
remains in full force.
DISMISSED
1 Gonzalez-Nunez brought lawsuits against (1) a Wisconsin family court
commissioner who denied her an injunction; (2) other Wisconsin family court
commissioners and trial court judges who issued orders concerning paternity, child
support, and child custody; (3) Puerto Rico municipal court judges who issued orders
concerning her involuntary commitment; and (4) Puerto Rico municipal court judges
who issued orders concerning child custody and a restraining order.
