PER CURIAM.

Michael Jacobson appeals the district court’s1

 adverse grant of summary

judgment in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action. Having carefully reviewed the record, we

agree with the district court that Jacobson’s claims are barred under Nebraska law

because he seeks to bring the same claims he brought, or could have brought, in his

prior state-court action. See Misischia v. St. John’s Mercy Health Sys., 457 F.3d 800,

of state in which judgment was rendered), petition for cert. filed, (U.S. Nov. 2, 2006)

(No. 06-623); Carter v. Kansas City S. Ry. Co., 456 F.3d 841, 848 (8th Cir. 2006) (de

novo review); Eicher v. Mid America Fin. Inv. Corp., 702 N.W.2d 792, 809 (Neb.

2005) (elements of res judicata). Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
