1Opinion of the Court
KING, Circuit Judge:
Plaintiffs Othar Russell, Donna Russell, Bobby Joe Russell, Carolyn Russell, Charles H. Sheffield, Margaret Sheffield, and Bonnie S. Brooks appeal from the district court’s grant of summary judgment against them in favor of SunAmerica Securities, Inc. The district court found that a release signed by Plaintiffs and Southmark Financial Services, Inc., a corporation whose assets were purchased by SunAmer-ica, also released SunAmerica. We find that Plaintiffs’ action is foreclosed by the doctrine of res judicata, and affirm the judgment of the district court on this ground.
