143678P.pdf 02/17/2016 Jane Turner v. DOJ
U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 14-3678
U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota - Minneapolis
[PUBLISHED] [Wollman, Author, with Bye and Gruender, Circuit Judges]
Civil case - Administrative Procedures Act. Plaintiff's action seeking
review of the Deputy Attorney General's decision concerning her complaints
of retaliation was collaterally estopped by the adverse judgment in an
earlier action she filed in the District of Columbia; both suits relied on
the same basis of subject matter jurisdiction and involved application of
the same legal standard; factual differences between the two underlying
causes of action are immaterial, because those differences do not affect
the common question, namely, whether Congress intended the Civil Service
Reform Act to proscribe unique and exclusive remedial procedures for FBI
employees alleging retaliation.
