United States Eleventh Circuit

In an action involving governmental regulatory taking claims wherein a state court previously ruled that plaintiff had no property interest protected by state or federal constitution, summary judgment for defendant premised on res judicata and collateral estoppel is affirmed where: 1) nothing in the state court litigation rendered plaintiff's opportunity to make its case insufficiently "full and fair"; and 2) a state court of competent jurisdiction already ruled that plaintiff had no compensable property interest.
