Reese v. Barbee9/7/1999
t).
In addition, the doctrine of res judicata prevents a plaintiff, who has once litigated an issue and had it finally determined adversely, from re-litigating the identical issue against a second defendant. Crosland-Cullen Co. v. Crosland, 249 N.C. 167, 170, 105 S.E.2d 655, 657 (1958). In the case sub judice, the issue of the applicable limitations period for service upon an insurance company providing coverage for an uninsured motorist has earlier been litigated by plaintiff and determined adversely to her. The circumstance that the present appeal involves a different uninsured motorist insurer is of no consequence. See id.
Affirmed.
Judges HUNTER and SMITH concur.
