Court of Appeal of Louisiana, Second Circuit.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Allan R. Harris, Shreveport, Counsel for Appellant.

Mayer, Smith & Roberts by Frank Carroll, Shreveport, Counsel for Appellee.

Before STEWART, GASKINS and DREW, JJ.


DREW, J.

After the plaintiff, Carolyn Alford, sustained a dental injury from eating food containing a small pebble, she later signed a release and cashed the accompanying check for $89.00. The question on appeal is whether the trial court erred in granting defendant's exception of res judicata based on Alford's signing the release and cashing the check. For the reasons set forth below, we affirm the trial court's judgment.
