Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Pottawattamie County, Margaret Reyes, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Bower, C.J., and Vaitheswaran and Chicchelly, JJ. Opinion by Vaitheswaran, J. (8 pages)
Normaleena Ramirez Grebe appeals the district court’s dismissal of her application for rule to show cause on res judicata grounds. OPINION HOLDS: Grebe’s application is not barred under issue preclusion because the prior court did not decide whether Thomas Gray’s post-military career constituted “federal service.” However, Grebe’s application is barred under claim preclusion because Grebe had a full and fair opportunity to litigate the “federal service” issue in the prior action.
