American Preferred Prescription v. Con

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, First Department
Jun 8, 1995
216 A.D.2d 33 (N.Y. App. Div. 1995)

Opinion

June 8, 1995

Appeal from the Supreme Court, New York County (Joan Lobis, J.).


The judgment in the prior Federal action ( Preferred RX v American Prescription Plan, US Dist Ct, ND Ohio, Manos, J., affd in part and revd in other respects 46 F.3d 535 [6th Cir]) is res judicata of the present action, both actions involving the same parties and substantially similar facts that arose out of the same series of transactions and that would have formed a convenient trial unit ( Smith v. Russell Sage Coll., 54 N.Y.2d 185). Plaintiff could have and should have raised its current claims in the Federal action ( see, Action Pictures v. Films Around The World, 202 A.D.2d 188).

Concur — Murphy, P.J., Rosenberger, Wallach, Williams and Tom, JJ.
