Description

¶1 Herbert D. Goodman, M.D., sued Samaritan Health System, d/b/a Maryvale Samaritan Hospital, alleging claims of negligent peer review and malicious prosecution. The trial court granted summary judgment in favor of Samaritan, finding that Samaritan was statutorily immune from these claims pursuant to Arizona Revised Statutes Annotated ("A.R.S.") section 36-445.02(B) (1993), the peer review immunity statute. Goodman now appeals that ruling. We granted permission to the Arizona Hospital and Healthcare Associa- tion and several other hospitals and medical centers to file a brief as Amici Curiae in favor of upholding the judgment. For the following reasons, we affirm the judgment.
