This case was dismissed by the District Court apparently on the ground of res judicata, the court taking judicial notice of the previous case between the parties, the details of which are spelled out in Gullo v. Veterans Cooperative Housing Association, 1957, 101 U.S.App. D.C. 167, 247 F.2d 573.

In all its essential particulars, the present action is the same as that of the previous case, and the District Court correctly applied the doctrine of res judi-cata.

While the defense of laches was interposed, it is not necessary that we pass on that issue.

Affirmed.
