Per Curiam. We find no merit in plaintiff's contention __________
that he was denied a full and fair opportunity to present his
arguments in his state court actions. The state court's
failure to accord him a hearing in his 1994 state court law
suit does not preclude the application of res judicata
principles.
We affirm substantially for the reasons stated in the
district court's July 6, 1995 opinion. Plaintiff's challenge
to his arrest and prosecution were so closely related to the
subjects of his state court action that plaintiff was
required to present all his challenges in one action.
Restatement (Second) of Judgments 24 (1982). See 1st Cir. ___
R. 27.1.
Affirmed. ________
