422 So.2d 749 (1982)

William J. DUNAWAY and Mary Lee Dunaway v. W.H. HOPPER & ASSOCIATES, INC., et al.

Supreme Court of Mississippi.

December 1, 1982.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Robert J. Kelly, Robert L. Williams, Hernando, for appellants.

James W. Amos, Hernando, for appellees.

Before PATTERSON, C.J., and BOWLING and PRATHER, JJ.


PRATHER, Justice, for the Court:

The sole issue presented here is whether a previous judicial decision, which denied a request for a lis pendens lien, bars the present action, which seeks to set aside a fraudulent conveyance involving the same property. In the proceedings below, the Chancery Court of DeSoto County apparently dismissed the present action on the basis of res judicata or collateral estoppel. We reverse.
