POLITZ, Circuit Judge:
After successfully bringing an ejectment action against the United States Postal Service .(USPS), Jackson v. United States Postal Service, 611 F.Supp. 456 (N.D.Tex.1985) (Jackson I), plaintiffs John Jackson and Steven Chapman brought the instant action to recover the reasonable rental value of the premises for the period of USPS’s nonpayment of rent and their attorneys’ fees incurred in litigating Jackson I. The district court found the claim for rentals barred by res judicata and dismissed the claim for Jackson I attorneys’ fees as untimely. Plaintiffs appeal. We affirm.
