SUPREME COURT OF LOUISIANA
No. 2021-C-01793
KAYLA E'LANA WATSON
VS.
DANIEL CHRISTOPHER BANGUEL
On Writ of Certiorari to the Court of Appeal, First Circuit,
Parish of East Baton Rouge
PER CURIAM:
Writ Granted. As observed by Judge McDonald, the case is not moot as the
entry of the protective order could have lasting effects on the applicant’s personal
and professional life. See Cat's Meow, Inc. v. City of New Orleans Through Dep t.
of Fin ., 98 -0601 p. 13 (La. 10/20/98), 720 So. 2d 1186, 1196 (“collateral
consequences of the case or controversy give a party a concrete interest in the
outcome of the litigation and ensure that the appeal is not moot”). If the order were
overturned on appeal, applicant would have the right to an expungement under La.
R.S. 46:2136.2(A). The matter is remanded to the court of appeal for a full
consideration on the merits.
