Heading: federal claims barred by claim preclusion.

Text: The lawyer asserts that imposition of the private reprimand violated various federal constitutional and statutory provisions. We do not address these issues because they are barred by claim preclusion. In her action before the U.S. district court, the lawyer brought claims against the parties in the present case for violation of her equal protection and due process rights, and for violation of the Sherman Act. The U.S. district court ruled that the lawyer had been deprived of no rights under the U.S. Constitution or the Sherman Act. The Ninth Circuit affirmed this decision. Therefore, these federal law claims are barred by claim preclusion. See Magic Valley Radiology, P.A. v. Kolouch, 123 Idaho 434, 436-37, 849 P.2d 107, 109-10 (1993); Diamond v. Farmers Group, Inc., 119 Idaho 146, 148, 804 P.2d 319, 321 (1990).
