Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit June 19, 1950, 10434 (Slack v. Rich)

PROCTOR, Circuit Judge.

The question here is whether an order of the District Court dismissing a prior action is

res judicata

of the present action.

In the earlier case, Sarah L. Slack, appellant (hereafter referred to as plaintiff), sued Charles W. Rich for personal injuries. Before trial Rich died. Plaintiff substituted Lovey V. Rich, administratrix.
