R CURIAM
Gr
anted. The court of appeal erred in finding the district court lacked subject
matter jurisdiction over plaintiff’s civil action for damages. See La. R.S.
15:1177(A); Pope v. State, 99-2559 (La. 6/29/01), 792 So. 2d 713.
Accordingly, the judgment of the court of appeal is vacated, and the case is
remanded to the district court for further proceedings.
