Syllabus

Final appealable order; motion for summary judgment; res judicata; claim preclusion. Judgment affirmed. After the defendant moved for summary judgment, the plaintiff failed to provide any evidence to rebut the defendant's argument that action was barred by res judicata. We find that the plaintiff is bound by the consequences of the voluntary dismissal of a prior lawsuit with prejudice because it involved the same parties, facts, and claims as the instant action. Accordingly, we find that the trial court did not err in granting the defendant's motion for summary judgment because the doctrine of res judicata — specifically, claim preclusion — applies and no exception is warranted.
