1 The Honorable Jeffrey M. Bryan, United States District Judge for the District of Minnesota.

of the record and the parties’ arguments on appeal, see Followell v. United States, 532 F.3d 707, 708 (8th Cir. 2008) (de novo review of dismissal on res judicata and collateral estoppel grounds); we find no basis for reversal. We grant the parties’ motions for judicial notice of court records from the prior proceedings, but we deny Zhang’s motion to the extent it seeks judicial notice of other documents.

The judgment is affirmed. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
