Description

We granted certiorari to review the opinion of the Colorado Court of Appeals, Block 173 Associates v. City & County of Denver, 797 P.2d 771 (Colo. App. 1990). The issue is whether res judicata or collateral estoppel operates to bar the trial of the plaintiff's, Block 173 Associates (landowner), claims in state court. The landowner's state claims contested an urban renewal plan adopted by the defendants, which included the condemnation of the landowner's property in downtown Denver, Colorado. A companion case, alleging the same underlying facts, was filed by the landowner in federal district court. The federal district court resolved the issues by granting the defendants' motion for summary judgment. Oberndorf v. City & County of Denver, 696 F. Supp. 552 (D. Colo. 1988). That decision was appealed and affirmed by the Tenth Circuit, 900 F.2d 1434 (10th Cir. 1990), and certiorari was denied by the United States Supreme Court. Block 173 Assoc. v. City & County of Denver, U.S. , 111 S. Ct. 129 (1990).
