ORDER
This 19th day of September 2002, upon consideration of the appellees’ motion to affirm, the Court finds it manifest on the face of the opening brief that the judgment below should be affirmed on the basis of, and for the reasons set forth in, the Court of Chancery’s well-reasoned decision dated June 17, 2002. The appellant fully litigated his claims against the appellees in prior litigation filed in the District Court for the Southern District of New York. Accordingly, the Court of Chancery properly applied well-settled Delaware law regarding res judicata[*] and dismissed the appellant’s complaint with prejudice.

NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that the judgment of the Court of Chancery is AFFIRMED.
