OPINION AND ORDER
PEDRO A. DELGADO-HERNÁNDEZ, District Judge.
Doral Bank initiated this action seeking declaratory and injunctive relief against enforcement of a final and non-appealable Judgment and orders of the Fajardo Part of the Court of First Instance of Puerto Rico (Docket No. 1 at ¶¶ 8 and 32).1 Careful examination of applicable authority confirms this Court lacks subject matter jurisdiction to entertain the action. Judicial intervention would exceed the scope of the Court’s authority under federal banking laws.2 Therefore, the case must be dismissed.
