Salazar v. City of Oklahoma City

Supreme Court of Oklahoma

Decided March 16, 1999No. 88,987PublishedCited by 95 opinions

1Opinion of the CourtOpala, J.

¶ 1 The dispositive issue on certiorari is whether the trial court erred in giving summary judgment to Oklahoma City [City]. We answer in the affirmative and reverse. The trial judge’s ruling on City’s issue-preclusion defense cannot be sustained. It rests on an inadequate record of the earlier federal-court action. The cause is accordingly remanded (a) for comprehensive reappraisal in light of the federal court’s entire judgment roll and (b) for re-examination of the tendered immunity issues upon an analysis we offer today.
