United States Eighth Circuit

In a case wherein a plaintiff filed a federal complaint after he was granted a state mandamus hearing concerning the denial of his liquor license application, judgment finding plaintiff's action barred by the doctrine of res judicata is affirmed where plaintiff's 42 U.S.C. section 1983 claims involved the same redress for the same alleged wrong which was the subject of plaintiff's state court mandamus action.
