In Re: 1 Priority Environmental Services, Inc. and Sunbelt
Rentals Scaffold Services, LLC, applying for

supervisory writs, 19th Judicial District Court,
Parish of East Baton Rouge, No. 669, 445.

BEFORE: GUIDRY, MCCLENDON, WELCH, THERIOT, AND WOLFE, JJ.

WRIT GRANTED. The portion of the district court' s ruling
which allows the video recording of the additional medical

examination of plaintiff, Meylin by Jose Lafosse, Ph. D.,
Castro,
ABPP, is reversed. In reviewing the writ application before us,
we do not find that the plaintiff has made the required showing
of special circumstances to warrant the imposed condition of

recording the additional medical examination. Accordingly, the
writ is granted and the additional medical examination of

plaintiff with Dr. Lafosse is to proceed without video

recording.
