EICH, C.J.

Eugene Parks appeals from an order dismissing a mandamus action in which he sought reinstatement to his former position as Affirmative Action Officer for the City of Madison. He raises a single issue: whether a prior action, in which Parks sued the city in federal court, claiming that his removal violated his federal and state rights, bars his present state action under principles of res judicata.
