VICKIE BRYANT,

Plaintiff-Appellant,

versus

JOHN D. ARCHBOLD MEMORIAL HOSPITAL,

d.b.a. Archbold Memorial Hospital,

ARTHUR CROWLEY, M.D.,

Defendants-Appellees.

Appeal from the United States District Court

for the Middle District of Georgia

(October 27, 2006)

Before TJOFLAT, BIRCH and COX, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

Vickie Bryant sued John D. Archbold Memorial Hospital and Michael Arthur Crowley, M.D. for violation of the federal Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act (EMTALA), 42U.S.C. § 1395 dd. Bryant's complaint also alleged that the hospital and Crowley were liable to her under Georgia law for medical malpractice.

The district court granted summary judgment for Defendants on the EMTALA claim and declined to exercise supplemental jurisdiction over the state law claim pursuant to 28U.S.C. § 1367(c)(3). Bryant appeals the grant of summary judgment on the EMTALA claim.

After a thorough review of the briefs and the record on appeal, we find no error in the grant of summary judgment to Defendants. The district court appropriately analyzed the EMTALA statute and the record evidence and properly determined that no dispute exists as to an issue of material fact.

AFFIRMED.
