Appellate Case: 15-2053 Page: 1 Date Filed: 12/15/2015 Entry ID: 4346499 
Leon Carter appeals the district court’s dismissal of his action as barred by 1

collateral estoppel and res judicata. Upon careful review, we conclude that the

dismissal was proper. See Nolles v. State Comm. for Reorg. of Sch. Dists., 524 F.3d

892, 901 (8th Cir. 2008) (res judicata effect of first forum’s judgment is governed by

first forum’s law; de novo standard of review); see also Hauschildt v. Beckingham,

686 N.W.2d 829, 840 (Minn. 2004) (standard for applying res judicata; doctrine

applies not only to every matter which was actually litigated, but also to every matter

which might have been litigated).

Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
