    In re MEDICAL REVIEW PANEL CLAIM OF Zsa Zsa DUNJEE. Leonard WEATHER, Jr., M.D. v. Zsa Zsa DUNJEE.
    No. 97-CC-3087.
    Supreme Court of Louisiana.
    Feb. 13, 1998.
   PER CURIAM.

The application is granted in part.

The Louisiana Patient’s Compensation Oversight Board, as the body that oversees the operation of the Louisiana Patient’s Compensation Fund, is exempt under La.Rev.Stat. 13:4581 from furnishing security for a suspensive appeal. The court of appeal erred in requiring security.

Accordingly, the judgment of the court of appeal is set aside in part, and the order of the trial court that granted the Board a suspensive appeal without security is reinstated.

In all other respects, the application is denied.

JOHNSON, J., votes to grant and docket.
