Description
RALPH B. GUY, JR., Circuit Judge. The plaintiff, a financial planner, filed this First Amendment action after the Michigan Insurance Commissioner declared that Michigan law bars the plaintiff from providing his clients with certain information concerning the availability of life insurance commission rebates in Florida. The district court held that the First Amendment claim is barred by res judicata because the plaintiff could have advanced it during an earlier state court action in which he challenged the provisions of the statute that bar him from offering such rebates in Michigan. We find that the plaintiffs First Amendment claim was not ripe during the state court action and is therefore not barred by res judicata. Accordingly, we reverse and remand.
