Huntley v. State
Annotate this CasePlaintiff filed suit against the State alleging statutory claims under the Rhode Island Fair Employment Practices Act, the Rhode Island Civil Rights Act, and the Rhode Island Whistelblowers' Protection Act. The State filed a motion to dismiss and a motion for summary judgment, arguing that the claims should be barred by the doctrine of res judicata because Plaintiff had previously filed a nearly identical suit in federal court, which dismissed the action. The superior court denied the State's motions. The Supreme Court quashed the decision of the superior court and remanded, holding that the federal court judgment was entitled to preclusive effect, and Plaintiff's claims were barred by res judicata.
