Background
Dana Cormier’s case against SWLA Center for Health Services and other defendants originated in the Louisiana Office of Workers’ Compensation, District 3, under case number 22-6547.
After the matter reached the Louisiana Court of Appeal, Third Circuit, SWLA Center for Health Services filed an application for rehearing. The brief rehearing notice does not describe the underlying dispute, the court’s earlier decision, or the arguments raised in the application.
The Court’s Holding
The Third Circuit denied SWLA Center for Health Services’ application for rehearing.
The court provided no reasoning or substantive analysis in the rehearing action. The notice identifies Judges Van H. Kyzar, Guy E. Bradberry, and Clayton Davis as the panel but does not identify an author.
Key Takeaways
- SWLA Center for Health Services did not obtain rehearing of the Third Circuit’s prior decision.
- The rehearing denial contains no explanation of the court’s reasoning.
- The order does not restate or modify the court’s earlier ruling.
Why It Matters
The denial leaves the Third Circuit’s prior disposition in place, subject to any further review that may be available. Because the rehearing notice contains no discussion of the underlying issues, it should not be read as establishing a new rule of workers’ compensation law.
