SUPREME COURT OF LOUISIANA
No. 2022-C-01116
SUCCESSION OF LUCILLE WATTS PATIN, ET AL.
VS.
BRAZEALE, SACHSE & WILSON, L.L.P., ET AL.
On Writ of Certiorari to the Court of Appeal, First Circuit
PER CURIAM
Relators seek review of the court of appeal’s May 9, 2022 judgment, which
reversed the district court’s January 11, 2021 judgment granting Relators’ exception
of no cause of action and dismissing the legal malpractice claims asserted by
Respondents. The writ application is denied. 1
1 See Dodson & Hooks, APLC v. Louisiana Community Development Capital Fund, Inc. ,
2020-01002 (La. 2/17/21), 310 So.3d 553 (per curiam) (although trial of the exception of no cause
of action requires the court to review the petition and accept well-pleaded allegations of fact as true
for the purposes of the exception, in finding that the face of the petition sufficiently states a cause
of action, the court is not expressing an opinion on the merits of the cause of action).
