Defendants.
The following Minute Order is made by direction of the Court, the Honorable John C.
Coughenour, United States District Judge:
This matter comes before the Court on the motion for summary judgment of Defendants
Vincent Tang, M.D. and AMN Healthcare, Inc (Dkt. No. 51). In their motion, Defendants argued
that Plaintiff’s case against them should be dismissed for failure to present the requisite expert
medical testimony to support her medical malpractice claims. (Id. at 2.) Plaintiff did not contest
the motion or submit expert testimony in response. (Dkt. No. 53 at 1.) No remaining party
objects to the dismissal of Defendants Tang and AMN Healthcare. (Dkt. No. 54 at 2.)
Accordingly, the Defendants’ motion for summary judgment (Dkt. No. 51) is GRANTED. All
claims against Defendants Tang and AMN Healthcare are hereby DISMISSED with prejudice.
