Following de novo review, this court finds the district court1 properly
concluded Hubbard’s claims are barred by res judicata and that Hubbard was not
entitled to an equitable exception to the doctrine. See Laase v. Cty. of Isanti, 638
F.3d 853, 856 (8th Cir. 2011) (de novo review of dismissal based on res judicata);
Magee v. Hamline Univ., 775 F.3d 1057, 1059 (8th Cir. 2015) (listing res judicata
factors); Walker v. Trinity Marine Products, Inc., 721 F.3d 542, 545 (8th Cir. 2013)
(plaintiff invoking equitable estoppel must show she has changed position to her
detriment in reasonable reliance on another’s misleading representation). Nor was
Hubbard entitled to relief from the prior judgment, which was affirmed on appeal,
under Fed. R. Civ. P. 60. See Superior Seafoods, Inc. v. Tyson Foods, Inc., 620 F.3d
873, 878 (8th Cir. 2010) (Rule 60(d)(3) relief is extraordinary form of relief, and is
available only when it would be unconscionable to allow judgment to stand); In re
SDDS, Inc., 225 F.3d 970, 972 (8th Cir. 2000) (Rule 60(b) motion cannot be used to
collaterally attack court of appeals ruling in lieu of petition for review in United
States Supreme Court).
The judgment is affirmed. The pending motions are denied as moot.
