STATE v. SMITH

No. S-1115.

720 P.2d 40 (1986)

STATE of Alaska, Petitioner, v. Robert Wayne SMITH, D.D.S., Respondent.

Supreme Court of Alaska.

May 30, 1986.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Richard G. Haggart, Birch, Horton, Bittner, Pestinger and Anderson, Anchorage, for petitioner.

R. Stanley Ditus, Marie Sansone, Ditus & Ditus, Anchorage, for respondent.

Before RABINOWITZ, C.J., MATTHEWS and COMPTON, JJ.

OPINION

COMPTON, Justice.

This petition presents the question whether a prior judgment requiring the Division of Occupational Licensing to issue a registration certificate precludes a subsequent claim for money damages arising from the same conduct. The superior court denied the state's motion for summary judgment, concluding that the doctrine of res judicata does not prevent the second claim. We reverse.
