Guimaraes v. Mohammed
Guimaraes v. Mohammed
Opinion of the Court
The defendant, Mohammed Mohammed, has filed a peremptory exception of non-joinder of party, as well as an appeal in this workers’ compensation matter. The plaintiff, Sheilah Guimaraes, filed a disputed claim against Mohammed, seeking compensation benefits and medical expenses. Mohammed argues that he was not Gui-maraes’ employer, rather, she was employed by SM & H Enterprises, Inc., which he claims was owned and operated by him, Nassar, and an unidentified woman.
In his appeal, Mohammed’s claim again centers around Guimaraes’ failure to name SM & H Enterprises and his two partners as defendants in her disputed claim for compensation. For the reasons cited above, we find no error in the workers’ compensation judge’s finding that Guimar-aes was employed by Mohammed at the time of her work-related injury. The costs of this appeal are assessed to the defendant-appellant, Mohammed Mohammed.
EXCEPTION DENIED; AFFIRMED.
