OPINION
RODENBERG, Judge.
Appellant, who was convicted of murdering the decedent, appeals the district court’s grant of partial summary judgment on the issue of his liability in this wrongful-death civil suit alleging battery. Because we conclude that there has been a final judgment on the merits of appellant’s liability for decedent’s death and that appellant had a full and fair opportunity to litigate the matter, the district court did not err when it applied collateral estoppel and granted respondent’s motion for partial summary judgment with respect to appellant’s liability for battery.
