Louisiana Court of Appeal·Decided May 31, 1994·No. No. 94-CA-97·Published·Cited by 1 cases

Opinion

GAUDIN, Judge.

This is an appeal from a district court judgment dismissing appellant’s claims for alienation of his wife’s affections during the course of a now dissolved marriage. This state does not recognize such a cause of action. Until either the Supreme Court of Louisiana or the state legislature authorizes action such as this, it is clear that the trial judge correctly granted defendant’s exception of no cause of action.

Appellant is to bear costs of this appeal.

AFFIRMED.
