   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  13-3080
   U.S. District Court for the Western District of Arkansas - El Dorado   
[PUBLISHED] [Smith, Author, with Riley, Chief Judge and Kelly, Circuit Judges] Civil case - Civil rights. Plaintiff alleged the same due process violations in federal court that had already been adjudicated by the Arkansas courts, and the district court did not err in concluding that plaintiff's due process claim should be dismissed under the claim preclusion doctrine; plaintiff had an opportunity to bring its equal protection claims in the state administrative and judicial proceedings and the claims were precluded; no error in denying plaintiff's post-judgment motions to alter or amend the judgment.
