Description
Magnus Electronics, Inc. ("Magnus") sued the Argentine Republic ("Argentina") for damages for converting Magnus goods. The district court dismissed the complaint on the basis of res judicata and lack of subject matter jurisdiction, Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b)(1). Magnus Electronics, Inc. v. Argentine Republic, 637 F. Supp. 487, 496 (N.D. Ill. 1986) (" Magnus II "). The court also sanctioned Magnus under Rule 11 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Magnus Electronics, Inc. v. Argentine Republic, 112 F.R.D. 141 (N.D. Ill. 1986). Magnus appeals the dismissal of its complaint as well as the assessment of fees. We conclude that res judicata bars Magnus from maintaining this suit. We also remand the case to allow the district court an opportunity to reconsider its decision to sanction Magnus under Rule 11. Magnus and Argentina each request that this court sanction the other party under Rule 38. Fed. R. App. P. 38. We decline both invitations.
