Opinion
STATE OF LOUISIANA
COURT OF APPEAL, FIRST CIRCUIT
LOUISIANA ART SUPPLY, L. L. C. AND NO. 2019 CW 1616 CRAIG S. MALONEY
VERSUS
CATHERINE DEANO, INDIVIDUALLY AND JULY 28, 2020 AS THE SUCCESSION REPRESENTATIVE OF WALTER MADER
In Re: Art Supply Distributor, LLC, applying for supervisory writs, 21st Judicial District Court, Parish of
Tangipahoa, No. 2016- 01999.
BEFORE: WHIPPLE, C. J., GUIDRY AND BURRIS,' JJ.
WRIT GRANTED. The November 6, 2019 judgment denying the
Exceptions of Improper Cumulation of Actions and Lack of
Procedural Capacity filed by Defendant - in -Reconvention, Art
Supply Distributor, LLC, is hereby vacated. The issue of
subject matter jurisdiction may be raised at any time, even by the court on its own motion, and at any stage of an action.
Williams v. International Offshore Services, LLC, 2011- 1240 ( La.
App. lst Cir. 12/ 7/ 12), 106 So. 3d 212, 217, writ denied, 2013- 0259 ( La. 3/ 8/ 13), 109 So. 3d 367. This court, raising the issue of subject matter jurisdiction on its own motion, finds the district court lacked subject matter jurisdiction over Catherine Deano' s reconventional demand. See Levert v. University of
Illinois at Urbana/ Champaign ex rel. Bd. of Trustees, 2002- 2679 La. App. 1st Cir. 9/ 26/ 03), 857 So. 2d 611, writ denied, 2003- 2994 ( La. 1/ 16/ 04), 864 So. 2d 635. The jurisdiction of a court
over the subject matter of an action or proceeding cannot be conferred by consent of the parties or waived; a judgment rendered by a court that has no jurisdiction over the subject
matter of the action or proceeding is void. In re Interdiction of Metzler, 2015- 0982 ( La. App. 1st Cir. 2/ 22/ 16), 189 So. 3d 467, 469, citing La. Code Civ. P. art. 3. Accordingly, Catherine Deano' s reconventional demand is dismissed without
prejudice.
