2006Considering the Louisiana Legislature’s overruling Johnson, supra, by statute, we decline to apply to Spano’s case the Johnson rule of counting multiple convictions on the same day separately as long as they arise out of different courses of action, since his relevant guilty pleas occurred before 10/19/04.

1991Under these circumstances, the specific statute directs that we do not assess Johnson’s conduct liberally in keeping with the act’s purpose, as we do in cases where the disqualification arises under § 1601(2), which is the general statutory provision directing disqualification only for “misconduct connected with [the] employment.” See and compare Dawkins v. Sumrall, 424 So.2d 407 (La.App. 2d Cir.1982) and Charbonnet v. Gerace, 457 So.2d 676 (La.1984).
