Warriner v. American National Bank & Trust Co. of Chicago

313 So. 2d 81, 1975 Fla. App. LEXIS 14876

Opinion

PER CURIAM.

Plaintiff-appellant seeks review of the trial court’s order dismissing her complaint against all defendants, save two, on the grounds of res judicata and further dismissing the complaint against the remaining two defendants for failure to state a cause of action against them.

It affirmatively appearing after a review of the record on appeal that plaintiff-appellant already has litigated unsuccessfully the subject matter of the instant law suit in the state trial and appeals courts¹ and in addition in the federal trial and appeals courts,² we conclude that the trial judge was correct in dismissing appellant’s complaint on the grounds of res judicata. Cf. Cohen v. Cohen, Fla. 1954, 70 So.2d 362. Further, we find no error in the dismissal thereof as to the two remaining defendants for failure to state a cause of action.

Accordingly, the herein appealed order is affirmed.

Affirmed.
