C/w 2026-c-00057 luba Workers Comp and Trucare Home Health, LLC v. Rebecca Sears

Summary

The court held that dismissal under Article 934 follows automatically when a plaintiff fails to amend within the court-ordered period, unless the plaintiff obtains a stay preserving the amendment deadline. Because LUBA neither timely amended nor obtained a stay, the exception judgment dismissed the claims, and that judgment became final for res judicata purposes after review was not pursued. The court therefore reversed the court of appeal and reinstated the WCJ judgments.
