STATE OF MICHIGAN
COURT OF APPEALS


LORRAINE ROSER, Plaintiff-Appellant, v LINDA RUTH CLEMENTS and KEVIN CLEMENTS, Defendants-Appellees.

UNPUBLISHED March 3, 2000

No. 210752 Macomb Circuit Ct LC No. 97-005947-NI

Before: O'Connell, P.J., and Murphy and Jansen, JJ. MEMORANDUM. Plaintiff appeals as of right from the circuit court's order granting defendants' motion for summary disposition on the basis that plaintiff's action was barred by res judicata. We affirm. Plaintiff's claims for damages arising out of the May 10, 1996, automobile accident properly belonged to the prior litigation between the parties, which involved the same May 10, 1996, automobile accident. Plaintiff's second complaint was therefore barred under the doctrine of res judicata. Pierson Sand & Gravel, Inc v Keeler Brass Co, 460 Mich 372, 380; 596 NW2d 153 (1999). Affirmed. /s/ Peter D. O'Connell /s/ William B. Murphy /s/ Kathleen Jansen
