RE:
Advisory opinion request by Dr. Princess Dennar regarding whether she has to take leave from her position as Assistant Director of Investigation for Louisiana State Board of Medical Examiners(LSBME) while she has a lawsuit pending against her employer, Tulane University School of Medicine.
Facts:
On February 11, 2021, Dr. Dennar was removed from her position at Tulane as the Program Director of the Med-Peds Residency Program. On the same day, Dr. Dennar took a leave of absence from her position as Assistant Director of Investigation for LSBME. On February 13, 2021, a "Go Fund Me" account was created to assist Dr. Dennar with the cost of her lawsuit against Tulane Medical Center.

Dr. Dennar initially requested an advisory opinion as to whether she has a conflict of interest if she serves on the LSBME while she has a "Go Fund Me" account? And, if there is a conflict, is it sufficient to take a leave of absence or does she have to resign. Additional information was submitted requesting to withdraw the opinion as Dr. Dennar decided to resign from her position with LSBME.


Recommendations:
Allow Dr. Dennar to withdraw her request.
Assigned Attorney: Suzanne Mooney
