Opinion:
Order
Last year we issued an opinion that began: "These appeals represent the end of the line for a long-running dispute over a nursing — home lease between Lock Realty Corporation IX (the lessor) and U.S. Health (the lessee) and Amerieare (the lessee's assignee)." Lock Realty Corp. IX v. U.S. Health, L.P., 707 F.3d 764, 766 (7th Cir.2013). Lock Realty did not see things that way. It promptly filed another suit concerning the same lease. The suit was removed to federal court and dismissed as barred by claim preclusion (res judicata). 2014 WL 129323, 2014 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 4329 (N.D.Ind. Jan. 13, 2014). Lock Realty has appealed.
It is enough to repeat what we said last year: Our decision was "the end" for this dispute, and Lock Realty should have left well enough alone. For substantially the reasons given by the district court, the judgment is affirmed.
