• holding that Rule 68 judgment functions as an adjudication on the merits for purposes of claim preclusion
• equating the mediation process of Michigan Court Rule 2.403 to a settlement and distinguishing it from an offer of judgment under Michigan Court Rule 2.405, an offer of judgement that does operate as a “full and final adjudication on the merits”
