Description
In this legal malpractice case, Frank John Stangel sued Lanny Elmo Perkins, alleging damages arising from the determination of income tax liability in a bankruptcy proceeding. In three issues, Stangel contends the trial court erred in refusing to file findings of fact and conclusions of law and causing the premature cessation of discovery. In additional issues, Stangel challenges the trial court's grant of summary judgment on the basis of res judicata in Perkins's favor. Because the trial court is not required to file findings of fact and conclusions of law in a summary judgment proceeding and a final judgment on a fee application in bankruptcy court is res judicata as to a legal malpractice action subsequently filed in state court that concerns the same professional services for which fees were awarded in the bankruptcy proceeding, we resolve Stangel's issues against him and affirm summary judgment.
