OPINION
Appellant Lafayette Brown appeals from a District Court order dismissing his complaint pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e). Because Brown’s appeal does not present a substantial question, we will summarily affirm the judgment of the District Court. See 3d Cir. L.A.R. 27.4; I.O.P. 10.6.
Brown, proceeding pro se, initiated a civil rights action against the City of Pittsburgh. Brown apparently suffered multiple serious injuries as a result of an accident that took place in 1977. Although his allegations are unclear, Brown appears to argue that the City, Brown’s former employer, violated Brown’s civil rights by interfering with Brown’s ability to recover the full amount of workers’ compensation benefits to which he believes he is entitled as a result of the accident.
The District Court referred the matter to a Magistrate Judge, who granted Brown permission to proceed in forma pauperis. The Magistrate Judge also filed a Report and Recommendation recommending that Brown’s complaint be dismissed pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B)(ii). The Magistrate Judge stated that she was unable to identify any basis for federal jurisdiction. She concluded that, to the extent Brown was attempting to contest the state court judgment concerning his workers’ compensation benefits, the District Court lacked subject matter jurisdiction over the complaint under the Rooker-Feldman doctrine.1
Brown objected to the Report and Recommendation. On September 15, 2008, after conducting a de novo review, the District Court adopted the Magistrate Judge’s Report and Recommendation and dismissed the Complaint pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B)(ii). Brown filed a timely appeal.
We exercise plenary review over the District Court’s dismissal under § 1915(e)(2)(B). See Allah v. Seiverling, 229 F.3d 220, 223 (3d Cir.2000). Upon review, we conclude that the District Court properly dismissed Brown’s complaint.
Brown alleges that the City of Pittsburgh has been “lobbying” and “collaborating” with various individuals since 1977, and asserts that he therefore is receiving less than what he believes to be the appropriate amount of workers’ compensation benefits. To the extent that Brown is attempting to argue that the state courts wrongly decided his workers’ compensation claim, we agree with the Magistrate Judge’s conclusion that Brown’s claims are barred by the Rooker-Feldman doctrine. The Rooker-Feldman doctrine divests federal courts of jurisdiction where a federal *59action “would be the equivalent of an appellate review” of a state court judgment. FOCUS v. Allegheny County Court of Common Pleas, 75 F.3d 834, 840 (3d Cir.1996).
However, the Rooker-Feldman doctrine applies only where “the losing party in state court filed suit in federal court after the state proceedings ended, complaining of an injury caused by the state-court judgment and seeking review and rejection of that judgment.” Exxon Mobil Corp. v. Saudi Basic Indus. Corp., 544 U.S. 280, 284, 291, 125 S.Ct. 1517, 161 L.Ed.2d 454 (2005). It is not clear to us whether Brown’s claims are limited to the issues addressed by the state court in his workers’ compensation action. For example, Brown also alleges that the City has “blocked” him from receiving medical care and “rescind[ed]” his “true medical records.” To the extent he attempts to raise independent federal claims against the City for injuries separate from those related to the workers’ compensation decision, we conclude that Rooker-Feldman does not apply. However, as to those allegations, Brown has failed to state a claim entitling him to relief.
To proceed under 42 U.S.C. § 1983, “a plaintiff must allege the violation of a right secured by the Constitution and laws of the United States, and must show that the alleged deprivation was committed by a person acting under color of state law.” West v. Atkins, 487 U.S. 42, 48, 108 S.Ct. 2250, 101 L.Ed.2d 40 (1988). Even construing Brown’s pro se complaint liberally, Alston v. Parker, 363 F.3d 229, 234 (3d Cir.2004), Brown’s allegations are inadequate to state a § 1983 claim against the City. Although Brown cites to the First and Fourteenth Amendments, Brown fails to set forth any facts supporting a constitutional deprivation. His vague allegations do not provide “enough facts to state a claim to relief that is plausible on its face.” Bell Atlantic Corp. v. Twombly, 550 U.S. 544, 127 S.Ct. 1955, 1974, 167 L.Ed.2d 929 (2007).
Brown failed to state a claim on which relief may be granted, and the District Court properly dismissed his complaint pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B)(ii).2 Brown’s appeal does not present a substantial question. We will therefore summarily affirm the judgment of the District Court. See 3d Cir. L.A.R. 27.4; I.O.P. 10.6.
