Overview

• Court filings say Louisiana has an outstanding arrest warrant for Dr. Remy Coeytaux, a California physician alleged to have sent mifepristone and misoprostol to a resident in 2023.
• Louisiana and the woman at the center of the case, Rosalie Markezich, are seeking to join a lawsuit that asks regulators to bar telehealth prescriptions for mifepristone.
• Markezich states her then-boyfriend used her email and address to obtain the pills and coerced her to take them, and she argues an in‑person requirement would have prevented it.
• Coeytaux also faces a separate Texas civil lawsuit and a cease‑and‑desist action, while provider‑state shield laws in places like California and New York are complicating enforcement and extradition.
• Louisiana officials have not disclosed the specific charges or timing of the warrant; under state law, convicted providers face up to 15 years in prison and $200,000 in fines.
