STATE OF LOUISIANA
COURT OF APPEAL, FIRST CIRCUIT
JONAS BEATTY NO. 2024 CW 0415

VERSUS

RIGID CONSTRUCTORS, LLC; JULY 16, 2024
CODY FORTIER; RUSS SETTOON;
AND ABC COMPANY

In Re: Jonas Beatty, applying for supervisory writs, 18th
Judicial District Court, Parish of Pointe Coupee, No.
51002.

BEFORE: WOLFE, HESTER, AND MILLER, JJ.

WRIT DENIED. The criteria set forth in Berlitz Construction
Co., Inc. v. Hotel Investors of New Iberia, Inc., 396 So.2d 878
(La. 1981) (per curiam) are not met.

EW

Miller, J., concurs and would deny the writ.
Hester, J., dissents in part. I find the portion of the
district court's May 9, 2024 judgment that deferred ruling on the
motion to compel documents related to plaintiff's job performance
until after mediation to be an abuse of discretion and would vacate
that portion of the order and remand the matter to the district
court with instructions to rule on that portion of the motion to
compel. In all other respects, I concur in the denial of the writ
application.
