                    Appeal from the United States District Court
                       for the Northern District of California
                   Saundra B. Armstrong, District Judge, Presiding

action arising from his shipment of personal goods from Oakland, California to

Lagos, Nigeria. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de

novo. Stewart v. U.S. Bancorp, 297 F.3d 953, 956 (9th Cir. 2002) (res judicata);

McQuillion v. Schwarzenegger, 369 F.3d 1091, 1096 (9th Cir. 2004) (collateral

estoppel). We affirm.

      The district court properly dismissed the action as barred by the doctrines of

res judicata and collateral estoppel because Shoaga has already litigated his claims

arising out of the shipment of these goods. See Shoaga v. Bolsada, No. C 05-

02213 SBA, slip op. at 3 (N.D. Cal. Dec. 11, 2006); see also Stewart, 297 F.3d at

956 (describing elements of res judicata); McQuillion, 369 F.3d at 1096

(describing elements of collateral estoppel).

      Shoaga’s remaining contentions are unpersuasive.

      Appellees’ requests to strike and for sanctions are denied.

      AFFIRMED.
