United States v. David Thompson

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit
United States v. David Thompson, 703 F. App'x 455 (8th Cir. 2017)

United States v. David Thompson

Opinion

PER CURIAM.

Federal prisoner David Thompson appeals after the district court 1 denied his Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 41(g) motion seeking the return of property. After careful review of the record, we conclude that Thompson’s Rule 41(g) motion — which he concedes sought the same property as he requested in a prior Rule 41(g) motion — was barred by res judicata. See Rutherford v. Kessel, 560 F.3d 874, 877 (8th Cir. 2009) (elements of res judica-ta); Followell v. United States, 532 F.3d 707, 708 (8th Cir. 2008) (res judicata precludes relitigation of claim on grounds that were raised or could have been raised in prior action). Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
