Heading: The Due Process and Fairness Arguments.

Text: Isaacson contends that application of issue preclusion would deny him due process, an issue he claims was raised but not resolved in the first appeal. He contends that we resolved the due process argument as a general matter but that we did not address his specific claim that application of issue preclusion retroactively to his case deprived him of due process. We disagree with this reading of our opinion in the first appeal. We said: [W]e conclude that application of issue preclusion to the issues of fraud, misrepresentation, breach of loyalty, and conflict of interest in the pending disciplinary case will not violate respondent's procedural due process rights. D.J.I., 545 N.W.2d at 874 (emphasis added). Isaacson's related argument that it would be unfair to apply issue preclusion in his case was also discussed at length in the first appeal and rejected. See id. at 872-74. We reject it now as well.
