HOSPITAL SERVICE DISTRICT NO. 2023 CW 1273
NO. 1 OF THE PARISH OF
TERREBONNE, STATE OF
LOUISIANA

VERSUS

HOSPITAL SERVICE DISTRICT
NO. 3 OF THE PARISH OF
LAFOURCHE, STATE OF FEBRUARY 16, 2024
LOUISIANA AND THIBODAUX
REGIONAL HEALTH SYSTEM, INC.

In Re: Thibodaux Regional Health System, Inc., applying for
supervisory writs, 32nd Judicial District Court,
Parish of Terrebonne, No. 195104.

BEFORE: CHUTZ, PENZATO, AND GREENE, JJ.

WRIT DENIED.

Greene, J., dissents and would grant the writ. Louisiana
Code of Civil Procedure Article 1422 provides that "[ p] arties
may obtain discovery regarding any matter, not privileged, which

is relevant to the subject matter involved in the pending
action, whether it relates to the claim or defense of the party
seeking discovery or to the claim or defense of any other

party[.]" Further, Louisiana Code of Civil Procedure Article
1426 states that "[ u] pon motion by a party or by the person from
whom discovery is sought, and for good cause shown, the court...

may make any order which justice requires to protect a party or
person[.]" I find that plaintiff, Hospital Service District No.
1 of the Parish of Terrebonne, State of Louisiana, failed to

meet its burden of showing good cause for a protective order.
