Sаul, а citizen оf Stаte A, visited his elderly mоther, a citizen оf State B. While there, Saul borrowed her expensive vintage car to buy groceries. While Saul was driving to the store, Payton, a pedestrian, a citizen of State C, darted into the street in front of him. Unable to stop the car in time to avoid hitting Payton, Saul veered into a tree. Saul was seriously injured and the car heavily damaged.Saul sued Payton in the federal court for State B for his injuries, properly invoking the court’s diversity of citizenship jurisdiction. Saul invited his mother to join him as a co-plaintiff but the mother, citing her poor health, declined. In his answer, Payton maintained that Saul was contributorily negligent because he was driving at an excessive speed and because he was driving a car with faulty brakes.The jury returned a special verdict, finding that Payton was negligent, that Saul was not driving at an excessive speed, and that the failure to maintain the brakes was a result of the mother’s negligence, not Saul’s. The court entered judgment in favor of Saul and Payton did not appeal.Three months later, the mother sued Payton in the federal court for State B, seeking to recover damages in excess of $75,000 for the damage to her vintage car. In his answer, Payton raised the defense of claim preclusion, on the ground that the mother failed to join Saul in the prior action, and the defense of issue preclusion, based on the jury’s finding in the prior action that the mother negligently failed to maintain the car’s brakes. Payton thereafter moved for summary judgment dismissing the mother’s claim based on his two defenses. State B follows the same preclusion principles that federal courts follow in federal question cases.How is the court likely to decide the motion?
