Capitol View Community Church and its members repeatedly trespassed on premises owned by Achor Center, despite objections from Achor Center. Achor Center brought the present action to enjoin further trespasses and moved for summary judgment. The trial court granted summary judgment, holding that previous litigation between the parties had conclusively established i Achor’s ownership of the property and ii the lack of any right of Capitol View to be on the property, and issued a permanent injunction. Capitol View, appealing that judgment, claims that there are material issues of fact remaining which preclude summary judgment. Since the essential facts have previously been adjudicated, we discern no error and affirm.
Over the last seven years, Reverend Kenneth Holmes has embroiled the courts in his dissatisfaction with his and his congregation’s expulsion from the United Baptist Church and with their resulting inability to use for worship services property of the UBC subsequently transferred to Achor Center, Inc.—a homeless shelter.

The underlying actions have included one case in which the church members unsuccessfully challenged the expulsion and sought possession of the property Anderson v.
