Superior MRI Serv. v. Alliance Health Serv., No. 14-60087 (5th Cir. 2015)
Annotate this CaseMRI, on behalf of itself and as successor-in-interest to P&L, filed suit against Alliance for, inter alia, tortious interference with business relations and tortious interference with contract. The district court dismissed Superior's tortious interference claims. The district court concluded that Superior failed to establish that it acquired contractual rights from P&L and that Superior lacked prudential standing to enforce P&L's rights. The court agreed, concluding that Superior submitted no evidence that the contracting hospitals at issue consented to any assignment. Even if P&L did attempt to assign its rights to Superior, the district court did not clearly err in finding that the purported assignment took place before Superior existed as a corporation. Accordingly, Superior failed to prove the existence of prudential standing by a preponderance of the evidence and, therefore, the court affirmed the judgment of the district court.
