In Re: Empire Trading Group, L. L. C., applying for supervisory
writs, 21st Judicial District Court, Parish of

Livingston, No. 163360.

BEFORE: McDONALD, THERIOT, AND CHUTZ, JJ.

WRIT GRANTED. The district court' s October 6, 2021
judgment denying the motion for summary judgment filed by
Defendant, Empire Trading Group, L. L. C., is hereby reversed.

Empire met its initial burden on summary judgment. Thereafter,
the burden shifted to Plaintiffs to produce factual support

sufficient to establish the existence of a genuine issue of

material fact or that the mover is not entitled to judgment as a
matter of law. La. Code Civ. P. art. 966( D)( 1). In opposition
to Empire' s motion for summary judgment, Plaintiffs only
produced documents responsive to a FOIA request submitted by
Plaintiffs to FEMA. We find these documents are not sufficient

to establish a genuine issue of material fact precluding summary
judgment. Accordingly, Empire' s motion for summary judgment is
granted, and all claims asserted by Plaintiffs, Daniel Baldwin
Dunlap and Margaret A. Dunlap, against Defendant, Empire Trading
Group, L. L. C., are dismissed with prejudice.
