STATE OF LOUISIANA
COURT OF APPEAL, FIRST CIRCUIT
TROY LILLIE, ET AL. NO. 2023 CW 0521
VERSUS
STANFORD TRUST COMPANY, STATE OF LOUISIANA, OFFICE OF FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS, JULY 5, 2023 AND SEI INVESTMENTS COMPANY
In Re: State of Louisiana through the Louisiana Office of Financial Institutions, applying for supervisory writs, 19th Judicial District Court, Parish of East Baton Rouge, No. 581670.
BEFORE: HOLDRIDGE, CHUTZ, AND PENZATO, JJ.
WRIT GRANTED. We find the trial court erred in the portion of its April 25, 2023 order that granted the plaintiffs' request for discovery under La. R.S. 6:103(H). At the April 19, 2023 hearing, the plaintiffs failed to introduce any evidence in support of their request for discovery. Evidence not properly and officially offered and introduced cannot be considered, even if it is physically placed in the record. Landis Const. Co., L.L.C. v. State, 2015-1167 ( La. App. 1st Cir. 2/29/16), 199 So. 3d 1, 2-3. The plaintiffs' request for discovery under La. R. S. 6: 103 (H) also did not adequately describe the documents being sought and therefore fails to comply with La. R.S. 6: 103 (H). Therefore, we find the plaintiffs failed to meet their burden of showing good cause and substantial need for the production of the documents sought in their request. We reverse the portion of the trial court's April 25, 2023 order granting the plaintiffs' request for discovery under La. R.S. 6:103(H) and deny the plaintiffs' request for discovery under La. R. S. 6:103(H).
