Melinda CHRISTIANA and Nicholas Christiana, Jr. v. SOUTHERN BAPTIST HOSPITAL, et al.
    No. 2003-CC-0544.
    Supreme Court of Louisiana.
    May 9, 2003.
   In re Southern Baptist Hospital a/k/a et al.; Christian Health Ministries; — Defendants); Applying for Supervisory and/or Remedial Writs, Parish of Orleans, Civil District Court Div. C, No. 92-13936; to the Court of Appeal, Fourth Circuit, No. 2002-C-2750.

Denied. Adequate remedy on appeal.

CALOGERO, C.J.,

concurs in the denial of the application. If the district court ultimately renders a judgment against relator in excess of the cap, relator will have an adequate remedy on appeal, at which time it can re-raise its arguments regarding the applicability of the medical malpractice act and ask that the judgment be reduced to the amount of the cap.

VICTORY, J., would grant the writ.
