Bounds v. Pine Belt Mental Health Care Resources, No. 08-3487

In a product liability action based on injuries plaintiff allegedly sustained by taking defendant's drug, the district court's order dismissing plaintiff's claims against certain defendants and denying plaintiff's motion to remand is reversed where there was sufficient compliance with the Mississippi Tort Claims Act's pre-suit notice requirements to state a claim against the hospital that administered the drug and its physician-employees.
