2014The Bankruptcy Court's Order Had Preclusive Effect 127 Under federal issue preclusion standards, "an issue actually litigated and determined by a valid and final judgment, if essential to the judgment, binds the same parties in any subsequent action, whether on the same or a different claim." In re Kane, 254 F.3d 325, 328 (1st Cir.2001) (internal quotation marks omitted). 128 Plaintiffs argue here that the bankruptcy court's order allowing Chase's claim was not final for purposes of issue preclusion because the subsequent dismissal of the bankruptey case vacated it, We disagree. 129 An order a
