Heading: Claims Against Defendant Logue

Text: We recently affirmed the dismissal of Wang’s claims against Logue for her actions in representing a New York State agency as Assistant Attorney General of New York State as barred by absolute immunity. See Wang v. Logue, No. 08-3132-cv, 2009 WL 3521472, at  (2d Cir. Nov. 2, 2009). In addition, the claims Wang raises against Logue in the instant litigation are virtually identical to the claims Wang raised against her in a prior action. Accordingly, Wang’s claims against Logue are barred by res judiciata, see Cieszkowska v. Gray Line N.Y., 295 F.3d 204 (2d Cir. 2002), and by the doctrine of absolute immunity, see Pinaud v. County of Suffolk, 52 F.3d 1139, 1148 (2d Cir. 1995); Barrett v. United States, 798 F.2d 565, 571-73 (2d Cir. 1986).
