Burgess v. North Broward Hospital District

Appellant, Shirley Burgess, brought this action below to recover damages for the *432death of her husband while a patient at North Broward Hospital District d/b/a Broward General Medical Center (“the Hospital”). In this appeal, Burgess challenges an order dismissing with prejudice her claim under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 for denial of access to the courts against the Hospital and Amos Stoll, M.D. (collectively “the Defendants”). Because the complaint failed to allege sufficient facts demonstrating that the Defendants frustrated the presentation of a non-frivolous claim, we affirm.
