Jackson v. State

LThe plaintiffs in this case are the surviving minor children of Stephen Dale Jackson.1 They challenge a district court’s judgment that granted a partial summary judgment in favor of one of the defendants, the State of Louisiana through the LSU Health Sciences Center, Health Care Services Division — Earl K. Long Medical Center (hereafter referred to as “EKL Medical Center”), and dismissed their claims for wrongful death arising from alleged medical malpractice. Finding a lack of subject matter jurisdiction, we vacate the district court’s judgment and dismiss this appeal.
