PETERS, J.
This matter is one of nineteen consolidated appeals on remand from the
supreme court following its decision in Rebel Distributors, Inc. v. LUBA Workers’
Compensation, 13-749 (La. 10/15/13), __ So.3d __. In its remand to this court, the
supreme court ordered that we consider the remaining issues raised by the parties
which were not resolved by its decision. However, after reviewing the record, we
note that this claim was dismissed by Rebel Distributors Corporation, Inc. d/b/a
Physician Partner and Pharmacy Partner at the start of the trial on the merits.
Because this matter was dismissed, we reverse the judgment of the workers’
compensation judge and render judgment in favor of Rosewood Retirement &
Assisted Living and LUBA Casualty Insurance Company. We assess all costs of
this appeal to Rebel Distributors Corporation, Inc. d/b/a Physician Partner and
Pharmacy Partner.
