from the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit.
Question presented
1. Whether, contrary to the decision of the D.C. Circuit in Ashbourne v. Hansberry, 894 F.3d 298, 302 (D.C. Cir. 2018), a decision of the U.S. Supreme Court in Lawlor v. National Screen Service Corp., 349 U.S. 322 (1955) remains good law insofar as it holds that, if the District Court dismissed Petitioner’s lawsuit with prejudice without fully finding both the material facts of the case and the legal standards that were applicable to these material facts of the case, and if the Court of Appeals affirmed the decision of the District Court, the doctrine of Res Judicata or Claim Preclusion doesn’t apply to Petitioner’s subsequent litigation, and the Petitioner is entitled to proceed with all claims in a subsequent litigation? 2. Whether a definition of a “final” judgment that the U.S. Supreme Court described for the purpose for an Appeal in Parr v. United States, 351 U.S. 513 (1956) is the same for the purpose of the Res Judicata or Claim Preclusion doctrine?
