THOMAS, Justice,
concurring.
I concur in the result which is reached by the majority opinion in this case. I dissented in Texas West Oil and Gas Corporation v. First Interstate Bank of Casper, N.A., Wyo., 743 P.2d 857 (1987), because I did not perceive that case as an appropriate one in which to invoke the concepts of res judicata or collateral estoppel. Consequently, I cannot agree with the reliance in this case upon that case, and would simply refer the interested researcher to CLS v. CLJ, Wyo., 693 P.2d 774 (1985); Delgue v. Curutchet, Wyo., 677 P.2d 208 (1984); and the cases cited in those opinions relative to the doctrines of res judicata and collateral estoppel.
