La. Stat. tit. 37 § 1285.3

Current with operative changes from the 2024 Third Special Legislative Session
Section 37:1285.3 - Security for judicial review of an adjudication
A.
(1) A party seeking judicial review or appeal of a final decision or order of the board in an adjudication proceeding shall furnish the following security:
(a) For that portion of a decision or an order pertaining to payment of a sum of money, whether costs, expenses, a fine, or any combination thereof, the amount of security shall be equal to the amount of the money portion of the decision; however, for good cause shown, it may exceed by one-half the amount of the money portion of the decision.
(b) In all other aspects of judicial review, the security shall be fixed by the court at an amount sufficient to assure satisfaction of and compliance with the decision or order rendered by the board.
(2) Any security furnished under the provisions of this Section shall be posted in favor of the board and shall be furnished by the petitioner in the district court as security for the judicial review, and any judgment by the district court against him shall be paid or satisfied from the proceeds of the sale of his property, or from the security posted under the provisions of this Section. A mortgage on immovable property is adequate security, but only when the mortgage is applied to an unencumbered immovable; a mortgage in other than a first position is unacceptable as security under this Section.
(3) The security required under the provisions of this Section shall be annexed by the petitioner to the petition for judicial review or appeal filed in the district court. In the event the petitioner seeking judicial review or appeal fails to annex satisfactory security to the petition for judicial review or appeal within the time specified for the filing of said judicial review or appeal, then the trial court, on its own motion or upon motion by the board, shall hold an adversarial hearing within five days of service of the motion and either enter a formal order of dismissal of the petition for judicial review or appeal with prejudice or grant a three-day period within which said security shall be filed in the record, in default of which the petition for judicial review or appeal shall be dismissed with prejudice.
(4) Service of the motion described in Paragraph (A)(3) of this Section may be effected by the methods provided in Code of Civil Procedure Article 1313.
B. Notwithstanding petitioner's compliance with the requirements of this Section, the district court shall not issue a stay for that portion of the board's decision or order which does not involve a sum of money unless the petitioner satisfies the requirements of R.S. 37:1285(H).
C. The provisions of this Section shall also apply to any individual who does not possess a license, permit, or other authority issued by the board to engage in the practice of medicine in this state who violates the provisions of this Part.
