Rivell v. Private Health Care Sys., Inc., 11th Cir. Mar. 24, 2008
07-12387 Rivell v. Private Health Care Sys., Inc.
Before ANDERSON, BLACK and HILL, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM: Appellants Dr. William Andrew Rivell and Dr. Alan B. Whitehorse filed this action on behalf of themselves and similarly-situated Georgia physicians. Their amended complaint pleads equitable and legal claims against The Capella Group, Inc., d/b/a/ Care Entree (“Capella”) and Private Health Care Systems (“PHCS”) for appropriation of the doctors’ names and identities to market and sell medical discount cards. On defendants’ motions, the district court dismissed the complaint, holding that the doctors’ sole remedy was on the contract they entered into with defendant PHCS. Because this holding is contrary to Georgia law, we shall reverse. … Rivell v. Private Health Care Sys., Inc.
