Joseph BRIGHT v. CLAIMS CENTER.

Court of Appeal of Louisiana, Fourth Circuit.

Rehearing Denied January 13, 1993.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Ralph Johnson, Gretna, for plaintiff-appellant Joseph Bright.

Sutherland, Juge, Horack & Dwyer, Denis Paul Juge, Thomas M. Ruli, New Orleans, for defendants-appellees Claims Center and Manhattan Management Co.

Before KLEES, CIACCIO and WARD, JJ.


WARD, Judge.

Joseph Bright appeals from a ruling dismissing his claim for worker's compensation. When Bright's claim came for a hearing the hearing officer of the Office of Worker's Compensation refused to receive Bright's evidence because Bright's counsel violated procedural rules of discovery. Because Bright could not present evidence, the hearing officer then ruled in favor of his former employer, Manhattan Management Company, rejecting Bright's claim.
