New Orleans Campaign For A Living Wage v. City of New Orleans

814 So. 2d 1273, 2002 La. LEXIS 1084, 2002 WL 548814

Opinion

PER CURIAM.

The application is granted. The execution of the trial court’s judgment declaring La. R.S. 23:642 unconstitutional and declaring Ordinance No. 20376, the Increased Minimum Wage Charter Amendment, to be valid is stayed pending further orders of this court. This court almost invariably grants such a stay in cases in which a single judge has declared a law or ordinance unconstitutional. Manuel v. State, 95-2156 (La.8/24/95), 695 So.2d 953; St. Charles Gaming Co. v. River Boat Gaming Commission, 645 So.2d 208 (La.1994); State v. Peart, 594 So.2d 1309 (La.1992); see Bowen v. Kendrick, 483 U.S. 1304, 108 S.Ct. 1, 97 L.Ed.2d 787 (1987).
