Anne Arundel County Board of Education v. Norville

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• holding that a claim of age discrimination filed in state court was barred by the principles of res judicata, where the claim had previously been adjudicated on the merits in federal court
• suggesting that a novel theory of liability might survive a dismissal based on res judicata if the new theory of liability did not exist when the first action was litigated
• observing that res judicata pertains to the legal consequences of a judgment entered previously in the same case, and that, when applying res judicata, a court is concerned “simply with the final judgment and its concomitant consequences”
• deciding case on grounds of res judicata even though issue of res judicata was not raised in petition for writ of certiorari because doing so would promote judicial economy and avoid unnecessary expense by obviating the need for a separate appeal
• extensively discussing and ultimately holding that the Anne Arundel Board of Education is an arm of the State for purposes of Eleventh Amendment immunity
• dismissal with prejudice for failure to state a claim is a final judgment on the merits
