Durkin v. Quest, Inc.

JiDUFRESNE, Judge.

This is a suit by Steve Durkin against Quest, Inc., an engineering consulting firm, and one of its engineers, Robert Alonzo, alleging that Alonzo submitted a fraudulent flood damage assessment report to an insurance company in order to defeat plaintiffs claims for such damage. Durkin now appeals from an adverse judgment sustaining defendants’ exception of res judicata, and further imposing sanctions against him of $1,000.00 in attorney’s fees and all costs. For the following reasons, we affirm both the judgment and the imposition of sanctions.
