Try CasePortal for FreeJ. Xinis grants, in part, a credit union, a law firm and its attorney’s motion for summary judgment in this contract dispute claiming the claims are barred by res judicata because this case was fairly litigated in state court. The borrower alleged the attorney had acted as an unlicensed debt collector for the credit union during the state litigation when the state and judge were dismissed from all claims. The borrower’s contract claims are the same as they were in state court, the attorney is not a state actor because he represented the credit union, and no plausible interference can be found. All claims but the breach of contract one are dismissed. The borrower’s motion to strike answer and his motion to reconsider dismissal of the judge and state are denied, but she has 21 days to amend the complaint.
