Mermelstein v. DOJ (E.D.N.Y.) -- holding that the doctrine of res judicata precluded plaintiff’s claim disputing the adequacy of FBI’s search for records concerning plaintiff’s conviction for medical insurance fraud, because plaintiff brought the same claim against the FBI in 2019 and lost before the district court and the Second Circuit; rejecting plaintiff’s suggestion that any new evidence became available between plaintiff’s claims, let alone that such evidence was fraudulently concealed or could not have been discovered with due diligence in the prior action.
