171177P.pdf 04/20/2018 Sheila Foster v. State of Minnesota
U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 17-1177
U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota - Minneapolis
[PUBLISHED] [Loken, Author, with Wollman and Melloy, Circuit Judges]
Civil case - Civil procedure. In this action under Section 1983 claiming
the State of Minnesota's failure to share annual proceeds of a 1998
Tobacco Litigation settlement constituted a taking in violation of the
Fifth Amendment, the district court did not err in concluding that the
action was barred by res judicata because the same claim was raised and
rejected in a plaintiffs' Minnesota state court suit, see Harne v. State,
No. A14-1985, 2015 WL 453895 (Minn. App. June 29, 2015).
