City of Natchitoches v. State

223 So. 2d 870, 254 La. 463, 1969 La. LEXIS 2894

Opinion

In re: The City of Natchitoches applying for certiorari, or writ of review, to the Court of Appeal, Third Circuit, Parish of Natchitoches. 221 So.2d 534.

The application is denied. Although the ruling of the Court of Appeal, that the State of Louisiana may he sued herein without its consent, is palpably erroneous (see Cobb v. Louisiana Board of Institutions, 229 La. 1, 85 So.2d 10, and Weinstein, Bronfin & Heller v. LeBlanc, 249 La. 936, 192 So.2d 130, and the authorities cited in those matters), the rulings complained of in this application are correct.

' HAMLIN, J., is of the view that the decision of the Court of Appeal is correct.
