FEINBERG, Circuit Judge:
Plaintiffs Cloverleaf Realty of New York, Inc. and Sunrise Park Realty (collectively “Cloverleaf’) appeal from an order of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (Charles L. Brieant, Judge) dismissing their complaint against defendants the Town of Wawayanda (the “Town”) and the County of Orange (the “County”). We conclude that the district court erred in dismissing the complaint as precluded by an earlier state court dismissal, and we vacate the order and remand the case to the district court for further proceedings.
