preemption doctrine in Louisiana

1991Where vehicles enter an intersection at or near the same time, the preemption rule does not apply, Cloney v. Smith, supra; Simmons v. Baumgartner, 393 So.2d 904 (La.App. 4th Cir.1981), particularly when one motorist is traveling the wrong way into the intersection.

2024Although Federal-state preemption is obviously not at issue here, the Supreme Court recognized the applicable principles are “instructive insofar as they are designed to assess the interaction of laws that bear on the same subject.” POM Wonderful, supra at 112 , 134 S. Ct. at 2236 .

2013According to the Supreme Court, Section 2(B), which requires state officers to make a reasonable attempt to determine the immigration status of any person they stop, detain or arrest on another legitimate basis if reasonable suspicion exists that the person is an alien and is unlawfully present in the United States, could likely survive a preemption challenge if interpreted by Arizona courts to “only require[] state officers to conduct a status check during the course of an authorized, lawful detention or after a detainee has been released." Arizona, 132 S.Ct. at 2509 .

2006Co., 398 So.2d 161 (La.App. 3 Cir.1981) as a factually similar case in which the court found that the preemption doctrine was inapplicable.

2005Relying on Cahnmann v. Sprint Corp., 133 F.3d 484 (7th Cir.1998), the Bastien court stated: The [ In re Long Distance Telecommunications Litigation, 831 F.2d 627 (6th Cir.1987)] court reasoned that the purpose of the preemption clause to achieve nationwide uniformity in telecommunications regulation was not at issue in a case challenging fraudulent and deceitful statements by the telephone service providers.

1998Although this court originally declined to exercise its supervisory jurisdiction to review the trial court's ruling, the Louisiana Supreme Court remanded the defendant's writ application "for briefing, argument and opinion in light of the recent development in the law on the preemption issue." Dumont v. Charles Schwab & Co., Inc., 97-0478 (La.5/1/97), 693 So.2d 750 .

1997Tillman v. Massey, supra . *424 Mr. Calk offered no evidence to satisfy his burden of proof on preemption other than to argue that, due to the fact that the point of impact was on the rear passenger door, Mrs. Calk had entered the intersection first.

1995The second, the collateral estoppel component of the double jeopardy clause enunciated in Ashe v. Swenson, 397 U.S. 436 , 90 S.Ct. 1189 , 25 L.Ed.2d 469 (1970), is of no assistance to us in formulating a preemption standard for LSA-R.S. 14:143 because it requires an initial trial resulting in the acquittal of the defendant and a correlation of facts at issue in the first and second trials before it comes into play.

1988See, Parochial Employers Retirement System of Louisiana v. State, Through the Attorney General, 380 So.2d 189 (La.App. 3rd Cir.1980); Atchafalaya Basin Levee District v. Pecquet, 364 So.2d 610 (La.App. 1st Cir.1978). [5] Appellant's brief contains a memorandum of amicus curiae by the United States Department of Labor and Immigration and Nationalization Service that appellant contends explains the preemption claim to a similiar Texas statute.

1988However, the same memorandum cites DeCanas , id., as "upholding [a] California law prohibiting knowing employment of [an] alien illegally present in the United States as consistent with [the] policy of INA to discourage illegal immigration," 458 U.S. pg. 18, 102 S.Ct. pg. 2986.

[5] Moreover, the INA provisions which appellant argues preempts the state statute do not make it "unlawful for an employer to hire an alien who is present and working in the United States without appropriate authorization," Bevles Company, Inc. v. Teamsters Local 986, 791 F.2d 1391, 1393 (9th Cir.1986).
