MARRESE V. AMERICAN ACADEMY OF ORTHOPAEDIC SURGEONS
470 U.S. 373 (1985)
NATURE OF THE CASE: This was a dispute over the preclusive effects of a state court
judgment.
FACTS: Marrese (P) was denied membership in the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons
(D). P sued in state court and his complaint was dismissed for failure to state a cause of
action. P then a federal antitrust action. D filed a motion to dismiss arguing that the
state claim and its dismissal precluded the federal antitrust claim. The District Court
denied that motion because the state court lacked jurisdiction over federal antitrust
claims. A Court of Appeals plurality held that claim preclusion barred the federal antitrust
suit: a state court judgment bars the subsequent filing of a federal antitrust claim if the
plaintiff could have brought a state antitrust claim under a state statute 'materially
identical' to the Sherman Act. The Supreme Court granted certiorari.
