A prior judgment is a bar to a subsequent action if: (1) it is final; (2) it is on the merits, that is, it is rendered after a consideration of the evidence of stipulations submitted by the parties at the trial of the case; (3) it is rendered by a court having jurisdiction over the subject matter and the parties; and (4) there is, between the first and second actions, identity of parties, of the subject matter and of cause of action. If the judgment or order is issued for failure to prosecute is it considered as judgment on the merits as to bar a subsequent action?
