BILLY HOWARD EZELL, JUDGE

For the reasons set forth in the companion consolidated case hereto, Joann Brooks, et al. v. LHCG XII, LLC, et al., 22-74 (La.App. 3 Cir. ___/___/___), ___ So.3d ___, Plaintiffs have clearly failed to produce reliable expert testimony as required for summary judgment purposes in support of their case. We find the trial court properly granted summary judgment and the judgments of the trial court are affirmed. All costs of this appeal are assessed to Plaintiffs.

AFFIRMED.
