Ralphael Okoro v. Randall Bohman

How courts have described this case

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

• recognizing that a jurisdictional dismissal precludes relitigating the ground of that dismissal, and thus has collateral estoppel (issue preclusive) effect rather than res judicata (claim preclusive) effect
• holding that \jurisdictional issues should be addressed first and if they are resolved against jurisdiction the case is at an end and there is no occasion to address the merits\
• explaining that a decision at the § 1915(e)(2)(B) stage has no preclusive effect with respect to the merits
• noting that a dismissal for failing to pay the proper filing fee is not subject to preclusive effect when the plaintiff subsequently files the same complaint and pays the fee
• noting “a jurisdictional dismissal precludes only the relitigation of the ground of that dismissal, and thus has collateral estoppel (issue preclusion) effect” on that ground of dismissal (internal citations omitted)
• “The term ‘frivolous’ is used to denote . . . a suit that, for whatever reason, clearly can’t be maintained. The reason might be jurisdictional.”
