preclusive

Proctor wrote the mental health case does not have a “preclusive effect.”

“The 9th Circuit expressly found that the guilty finding has no future preclusive effect, which is what Arpaio actually sought,” Wilenchik said.

It will be reviewed by Delaware courts under the so-called Unocal test, which looks to see whether the response is reasonable in relation to the threat posed and not preclusive or coercive.

Any action “at once so conclusive and preclusive must be scrutinized with caution,” Jackson wrote.

"Those now-void legal rulings and factual findings have no precedential, preclusive, or binding effect," the three-judge panel wrote in a unanimous decision.
