Outcome
The court affirmed the dismissal of plaintiff's medical malpractice and civil rights claims against BRFHH (University Health Shreveport) based on prescription (statute of limitations), finding that the alleged malpractice occurred on August 22, 2016, but the Medical Review Panel request was not filed until November 21, 2017—over one year later—making the claim untimely under Louisiana law.
