Greenwood Leflore Hospital and Nita McClain v. Clover J. Boykin

Summary

The Mississippi Supreme Court reversed the trial court’s denial of Greenwood Leflore Hospital’s motion to dismiss, holding that the plaintiff could not bring a §1983 claim based on HIPAA because HIPAA provides no private right of action, and that the plaintiff’s failure to file a brief on appeal constitutes a confession of error warranting reversal.
