MEMORANDUM**
Michael Ferdik appeals the District Court's summary judgment dismissing his claims against Flamenco Mental Health Center, et al. We affirm.
This lawsuit merely reiterates the claims made by Ferdik in five previous lawsuits. A litigant whose action has been prosecuted to final judgment is precluded from relitigating claims that were or could have been raised in the original action. Federated Department Stores v. Moitie, 452 U.S. 394, 398 (1981). Therefore, Ferdik's claims are barred by res judicata.
AFFIRMED.
