In Re: Ohio Security Insurance Company, applying for
supervisory writs, 21st Judicial District Court,
Parish of Tangipahoa, No. 20231763.

BEFORE: GUIDRY, C.J., CHUTZ AND LANIER, JJ.

WRIT GRANTED. The March 19, 2024 judgment denying the
motion for summary judgment filed by defendant, Ohio Security
Insurance Company, is reversed. Defendant produced evidence
that the Ohio Security policy issued to South Texas Cellular
Services, Inc. expired prior to the date of the collision at
issue. Plaintiff failed to produce evidence sufficient to
establish the existence of a genuine issue of material fact as
to whether a policy of insurance issued by Ohio Security
existed, which policy provided coverage to South Texas Cellular
for the claims alleged, that was in effect at the time of this
collision. See Johnson v. Williams, 2014-0903 (La. App. 4th
Cir. 2/4/15), 160 So.3d 1036. Accordingly, the motion for
summary judgment filed by Ohio Security Insurance Company is
granted and the claims of Andres Garcia-Pacheco asserted against
it are dismissed with prejudice.
