Doe v. Dynamic Physical Therapy, LLC
| Docket No. | Op. Below | Argument | Opinion | Vote | Author | Term |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 25-180 | La. | Not Argued | Dec 8, 2025 | 9-0 | Per Curiam | OT 2025 |
Holding: Because a state lacks the power to confer immunity from federal causes of action, the Louisiana Court of Appeal’s judgment that a plaintiff’s federal claims are barred by a Louisiana statute immunizing health care providers from civil liability during public health emergencies is reversed.
Judgment: Reversed and remanded in a per curiam opinion on December 8, 2025.
