1Opinion of the Court

GREMILLION, Judge.

| ¶ This matter involves a concursus proceeding invoked by Zurich American Insurance Company (Zurich) to resolve the dispute over attorney fees between George A. Flournoy and Paul J. Cox, both of whom represented Sheila and Rubin Webster in consolidated personal injury actions. An intervention filed by Flournoy in the personal injury suit was dismissed, and Cox successfully argued in the concur-sus proceeding that the dismissal was res judicata as to Flournoy’s claims for attorney fees. For the reasons that follow, we affirm.
