Davis v. Orr

70 So. 49, 138 La. 94, 1915 La. LEXIS 1823

Opinion

MONROE, C. J.

This is an application for a writ of mandamus to compel the clerk of the district court of the parish of Red River to grant a suspensive appeal from an order made by him, at the instance of the plaintiff (R. W. Davis), from- a writ of injunction restx-aining relators from erecting derricks and drilling for oil and gas upon a certain tract of land in said parish. The application fails to disclose that any previous notice of the intention to make it was given, either to the clerk or to the opposing party or his counsel, as required by rule 15 of this court (67 South, xi);¹ and, though the clerk does not, plaintiff does, urge the objection. The same question is presented and considered in the case of R. W. Davis v. Safety First Oil Co., Inc., In re Safety First Oil Co., Inc., applying, etc., 70 South. 47,² this day decided; and, for the reasons assigned in that case, it is ordered that this application be dismissed at the cost of the applicants, without prejudice to any right which they may have to renew it upon giving the required notice.
