STATE OF LOUISIANA
COURT OF APPEAL, FIRST CIRCUIT

GREGORY GRANGER, JR. AND NO. 2025 CW 0531
THERESA ANN SOTO GRANGER

VERSUS

MK MALL HOLDINGS, L.L.C. AND AUGUST 22, 2025

ABC INSURANCE COMPANY

In Re: Nautilus Insurance Company, applying for supervisory
writs, 16th Judicial District Court, Parish of St. Mary,
No. 135724.

BEFORE : THERIOT, PENZATO, AND BALFOUR, JJ.

WRIT GRANTED WITH ORDER. The trial court’s May 16, 2025
judgment which denied the Motion for Summary Judgment filed by
defendant, Nautilus Insurance Company, is vacated. Defendant, in
its reply, raised multiple objections to evidence submitted by
plaintiff, Gregory Granger, Jr., with his opposition. However, the
trial court failed to rule on the evidentiary objections. La. Code
Civ. P. art. 966(D) (2) provides that the court shall specifically
state on the record or in writing whether the court sustains or
overrules the objections raised. Accordingly, this matter is
remanded to the trial court for compliance with La. Code Civ. P.
art. 966(D) (2), and a ruling on defendant’s Motion for Summary
Judgment, after determination of any evidentiary issues, pursuant
to La. Code Civ. P. art. 966(C) (4).
