UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS

FOR THE TENTH CIRCUIT

DAVID WAYNE LANDRY,

		Plaintiff - Appellant,

v.

ANN M. VENEMAN, Secretary, United States Department of Agriculture,

		Defendant - Appellee.	

No. 01-7121
(D.C. No. 00-CV-546-S)
(E. D. Oklahoma)	

ORDER AND JUDGMENT*

Before EBEL, HOLLOWAY, and MURPHY, Circuit Judges.

	For the third time, appellant David Wayne Landry seeks review of the decisions and determinations made by the Secretary of Agriculture, which resulted in denial of his request for loans from the Department of Agriculture.  The district court dismissed the action, holding that the claims were barred by the doctrine of res judicata.  After reviewing the briefs and record on appeal, we conclude that the district court was correct.  Specifically, and in answer to appellant’s only challenge to the district court’s res judicata findings, the parties to this and all of appellant’s previous actions are either identical or in privity.  See Sunshine Anthracite Coal Co. v. Adkins, 310 U.S. 381, 402 (1940).  Thus, we AFFIRM for substantially the same reasons stated in the district court’s order dated May 29, 2001.
