Res Judicata
By: Derek Hawkins//June 1, 2017//
Listen to this article7th Circuit Court of Appeals
Case Name: R. Sherwin Parungao v. Community Health Systems, Inc., et al
Case No.: 16-3021
Officials: WOOD, Chief Judge, and RIPPLE and SYKES, Circuit Judges.
Focus: Res Judicata
This is the fourth lawsuit that Dr. R. Sherwin Parungao, a surgeon, has brought against affiliates of Galesburg Cottage Hospital. The district court ruled that Dr. Parungao’s complaint was barred by res judicata and Illinois’s closely related single-refiling rule. Because we agree that this suit violates the doctrine of res judicata, we affirm the district court’s judgment.
