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.
