062838P.pdf   08/28/2007  Joshua D. Baker  v.  Eric Chisom
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  06-2838
   U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas - Pine Bluff   
   [PUBLISHED] [Loken, Author, with Gruender and Benton, Circuit
   Judges]
Civil case - Civil rights. Because plaintiff's initial complaint against the defendants was silent as to whether he was suing them in their individual capacities, the initial suit stated only an official capacity claim; as a result, for statute of limitations purposes, the individual capacity claims were raised for the first time in the second complaint and were time barred; official capacity claims were barred by the doctrine of res judicata as the issues raised in the claims had been resolved in the judgment granted in the first suit; district court did not err in dismissing pendent state claims with prejudice. Judge Gruender, concurring in part and dissenting in part.
