Asemani v. Government of Islamic Republic of Iran
Citation: 304 F. App'x 871Docket: No. 07-7145
Court: Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit; November 9, 2008; Federal Appellate Court
The appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Columbia regarding the claims against the Government of the Islamic Republic of Iran and associated entities is affirmed. The district court's order from August 8, 2007, is upheld because the appellant's claims are barred by res judicata, indicating that previous judgments preclude the current claims. This conclusion is supported by established precedents, including Allen v. McCurry and Smalls v. United States, which state that a dismissal for failure to state a claim is an adjudication on the merits. The decision will not be published per D.C. Circuit Rule 36, and the Clerk is instructed to withhold the mandate until the remaining appeal matters are resolved.
