Reasons

• Per CELIA FOY CASTILLO, Judge (CYNTHIA A. FRY, Chief Judge, and LINDA M. VANZI, Judge concurring): The Court of Appeals proposed a summary reversal of the district court's dismissal, indicating a preliminary agreement with the Plaintiff's position against the dismissal on res judicata and collateral estoppel grounds. After issuing a second notice of proposed disposition and receiving no response from the Defendants within the given timeframe, the Court decided to summarily reverse the district court's dismissal of the Plaintiff's complaint, suggesting that the appellate court found the district court's application of res judicata and collateral estoppel to be incorrect or improperly applied in this case.
