488 A.2d 1346 (1985)

Koo L. YUEN, Appellant, v. Levi T. DURHAM, Appellee.

District of Columbia Court of Appeals.

Decided March 5, 1985.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Chester N. Katz, for appellant.

Jeffrey P. Bloom, Washington, D.C., with whom Eric M. May, Washington, D.C., was on brief, for appellee.

Before FERREN and ROGERS, Associate Judges, and REILLY, Chief Judge, Retired.


ROGERS, Associate Judge:

This is an appeal from the grant of summary judgment and denial of a motion for reconsideration. Because appellee failed to seek a judgment against appellant in the full amount to which he was entitled in a prior suit, he is precluded by res judicata from obtaining another judgment on the same claim against appellant for an additional amount. Accordingly, we reverse.
