United States Ninth Circuit

Dismissal based on res judicata of plaintiff's Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) claims against his former employer is affirmed since denial of leave to amend his prior action based on dilatoriness does not prevent application of res judicata in a subsequent action.
