Vickie Bryant v. John D. Archbold Memorial Hosp.
Opinion
Vickie Bryant sued John D. Archbold Memorial Hospital and Michael Arthur Crowley, M.D. for violation of the federal Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act (EMTALA), 42 U.S.C. § 1395 dd. Bryant’s complaint also alleged that the hospital and Crowley were hable to her under Georgia law for medical malpractice. The district court granted summary judgment for Defendants on the EMTALA claim and declined to exercise supplemental jurisdiction over the state law claim pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1367(c)(3). Bryant appeals the grant of summary judgment on the EMTALA claim.
*411 After a thorough review of the briefs and the record on appeal, we find no error in the grant of summary judgment to Defendants. The district court appropriately analyzed the EMTALA statute and the record evidence and properly determined that no dispute exists as to an issue of material fact.
AFFIRMED.
