                                CHAPTER 1. INTRODUCTION

Scope

N.D.Ill.Bkrtcy.Ct.2020. Scope quot. in sup. (cit. as Introduction). Chapter 11 debtor corporation
brought an adversary proceeding against ex-wife of its sole shareholder, seeking to avoid as fraudulent
its pre-petition transfer to ex-wife of certain real property, which shareholder had purchased and
assigned to debtor. This court granted ex-wife's motion to dismiss, holding that the transfer was made
pursuant to a judgment in the marriage-dissolution proceedings between shareholder and ex-wife, in
which the state court determined that the property was part of the marital estate, and that debtor's
complaint in this action was a collateral attack on the state-court judgment that was barred under the
Rooker-Feldman  doctrine. The court noted that, while debtor was not a party to the state-court
proceedings, it was in privity with shareholder for purposes of those proceedings under the Restatement
Second  of Judgments, and thus the judgment was binding on it. In re 3991 Transport Company Inc., 610
B.R. 881, 884-885.

Relation Between  Law  of Res Judicata and Law  of Procedure

C.A.9, 2019. Quot. in case quot. in sup. After the county civil service commission affirmed the
termination of his employment, former county employee brought a lawsuit against county and
supervisors, alleging that defendants violated state and federal laws by terminating him for engaging in
whistleblowing activities. The district court granted defendants' motion to dismiss. This court affirmed
in part, holding that the district court did not err in finding that the county commission's decision had a
preclusive effect against plaintiff's federal-law claims. The court quoted Restatement Second of
Judgments  in explaining that plaintiff had a sufficient opportunity to litigate his federal claims before the
county commission, because he submitted a dispute over legal rights before a legally-empowered
tribunal and had the opportunity to present witnesses and evidence. Bahra v. County of San Bernardino,
945 F.3d 1231, 1236.
