   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  22-3025
   U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri - Springfield   
   [PUBLISHED] [Melloy, Author, with Smith, Chief Judge, and Erickson, 
   Circuit Judge] 
   Civil case - Civil rights. In this action seeking damages under Section 
   1983 for costs plaintiff incurred while a stop-work order was in place 
   concerning its property development, the district court correctly 
   determined that the defense of res judicata was timely asserted and that 
   it applied; the claims asserted in the new action could have been brought 
   in the earlier state court action, the identity of things sued for was 
   met, as was the identity of the cause of action; the order granting 
   defendants summary judgment is affirmed.
