164	22	I. Kassab's counterclaims are barred by res judicata	All three elements of res judicata are met: (1) prior final judgments on the merits exist from Brumfield and Gandy cases dismissing barratry claims on limitations — a judgment is final for res judicata even if appealed (Gonzalez), and dismissal on limitations is a decision on the merits (Igal); (2) Kassab is in privity with the Assignors as successor-in-interest — indeed he is actually reasserting their failed claims; (3) Kassab admits the counterclaims assert the exact same claims previously adjudicated.
