No. 86-491.

509 So.2d 637 (1987)

David Vincent SIBLEY, Plaintiff-Appellant, v. NATCHITOCHES PARISH POLICE JURY, et al., Defendants-Appellees.

Court of Appeal of Louisiana, Third Circuit.

Writ Denied October 2, 1987.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

David Vincent Sibley, in pro. per.

Ronald E. Corkern, Jr. of Watson, Murchison, Crews, Arthur & Corkern, Michael Henry, Natchitoches, for defendants-appellees.

Before STOKER, LABORDE and YELVERTON, JJ.


LABORDE, Judge.

Appellant, David V. Sibley, appeals the decision of the trial court dismissing his suit under an exception of res judicata. Sibley contends that the state district court should hear his case since the federal district court which first heard his case had no jurisdiction and, therefore, no authority to render a decision. After reviewing the record, we conclude that the trial judge was correct in maintaining the exception of res judicata.
