IN RE: John Patrick RAYNOR Debtor (2020)

United States Court of Appeals, Eighth Circuit.

IN RE: John Patrick RAYNOR Debtor John Patrick Raynor Appellant v. Dennis P. Walker Appellee

No. 19-2845

Decided: May 22, 2020

Before KELLY, WOLLMAN, and STRAS, Circuit Judges.

John Patrick Raynor, Pro Se Diana J. Vogt, Sherrets & Bruno, Omaha, NE, for Appellee

[Unpublished]

John Raynor appeals after the Bankruptcy Appellate Panel affirmed the bankruptcy court's ¹ order dismissing his adversarial complaint as barred by res judicata. Having carefully reviewed the record and the parties’ arguments on appeal, we find no basis for reversal. See Williams v. King (In re King), 744 F.3d 565, 569 (8th Cir. 2014) (standard of review); Lane v. Peterson, 899 F.2d 737, 742 (8th Cir. 1990) (res judicata bars relitigation of claim if prior judgment was rendered by court of competent jurisdiction, prior judgment was final judgment on merits, and same cause of action and same parties or their privies were involved in both cases).

Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
