In Re: Marjolein Bibi Bronswijk Woike and Joseph Hermann
Meindert Wolke, applying for supervisory writs, 19th
Judicial District Court, Parish of East Baton Rouge,
No. 682635.

BEFORE: WHIPPLE, C. J., WELCH AND CHUTZ, JJ.

WRIT GRANTED. We reverse the judgment of the trial court

that denied the motion for summary judgment filed by Marjorie
Bibi Bronswijk Wolke and Joseph Hermann Mendert Wolke seeking
dismissal from this litigation. The Wolkes have successfully
pointed out that Steven Brett Dykes and April Varnadoc- Dykes
lack factual support to prove essential elements of their
claim, namely fraud or bad faith. Concluding there exist no

genuine issues as to material fact and that the Wolkes are

entitled to judgment as a matter of law, we grant their motion
for summary judgment. The claims of Steven Brett Dykes and

April Varnadoe Dykes against Marjorie Bibi Bronswijk Wolke and
Joseph Hermann Mendert Wolke in this litigation are dismissed
with prejudice.
