REHEARING ACTION: November 9, 2016

Docket Number: 16 00596-KW

SUCCESSION OF OLEAVA K. KNIGHTON
(IN RE: WELDON KNIGHTON)

Writ Application from Calcasieu Parish Case No. 50-559

BEFORE JUDGES:

Hon. Jimmie C. Peters
Hon. John E. Conery
D. Kent Savoie

As counsel of record in the captioned case, you are hereby notified that the ruling on the

application for rehearing filed by Kevin Knighton, et al is:

REHEARING DENIED: The matter before this court is a criminal matter.
See Carabine v. DeGravelle, 08-1286 (La.App. 3 Cir. 5/6/09), 11 So.3d 85,
writ denied, 09-1231(La. 9/18/09), 17 So.3d 980. Kevin Knighton and Frank
Granger, who are seeking a rehearing, fail to cite any authority to support
their right to seek a rehearing on this criminal matter. The proper procedural
vehicle is to seek civil relief in the trial court of the alleged contempt. Thus,
we find the parties seeking rehearing lack standing.

Peters, J., dissents.

Frank Alton Granger, Counsel for the Respondent
