JAMA CONST. v. CITY OF LOS ANGELES

No. 90-55475.

938 F.2d 1045 (1991)

JAMA CONSTRUCTION, Plaintiff-Appellant, v. CITY OF LOS ANGELES; Board of Building and Safety Commissioners of the City of Los Angeles; Department of Building and Safety of the City of Los Angeles; City Council of the City of Los Angeles, Defendants-Appellees.

United States Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit.

Decided July 15, 1991.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Fred N. Gaines and Benjamin Reznik, Reznik & Reznik, Sherman Oaks, Cal., for plaintiff-appellant.

Susan D. Pfann, Asst. City Atty., Los Angeles, Cal., for defendants-appellees.

Before PREGERSON, BRUNETTI and NELSON, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

The sole issue in this appeal is whether plaintiff Jama Construction Corporation, Inc.'s (Jama) action in federal district court under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 is barred by a previous state court judgment. The district court held that plaintiff's § 1983 action is barred by its earlier suit in state court under the doctrine of res judicata. We affirm, but on a ground other than that relied on by the district court.
