1Opinion of the Court
SCALIA, Circuit Judge:
On this appeal we must decide the res judicata effect of a prior dismissal for lack of subject matter jurisdiction.
The appellant’s earlier suit against the present defendant and one of its franchised dealers, brought in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia and based in part upon the diversity of citizenship provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 1332 (1976),1 was dismissed for lack of the requisite statutory amount in controversy and for absence of complete diversity of citizenship. Dozier v. Ford Motor Co., No. 80-0958-A (E.D.Va. Dec. 12, 1980)…
