Description
The plaintiffs, Louis J. Martino and McDonalds Drive-In of Ottumwa, Iowa, Inc., (McDonalds Ottumwa) appeal from the district courts entry of summary judgment against them on one count of their two count antitrust complaint against the defendants, McDonalds System, Inc. (McDonalds System) and Franchise Realty Interstate Corporation (FRIC). The only issue before this court is whether a 1973 consent judgment against Martino precludes the cause of action set forth in Count I of the present complaint. The district court held that both res judicata and the compulsory counterclaim rule of Fed.R.Civ.P. 13(a) barred the plaintiffs from suing on their first cause of action. Martino v. McDonalds System, Inc., 432 F. Supp. 499 (N.D. Ill. 1977).
