Additionally, all plaintiffs claims on appeal are intertwined with the facts that gave rise to the original eviction action, and his arguments each fall into one of two categories: (1) arguments that were made in the original action, or (2) arguments which could have been made in the original action. It is our opinion that in the first instance, plaintiffs claims are barred by the doctrine of collateral estoppel as claims that were actually litigated in the District Court. In the second instance, plaintiffs claims are barred by the doctrine of res adjudicata as claims that could have been raised in the District Court action or in any appeal therefrom to the Superior Court.
