hearing exception in Louisiana

2016InWhile in some cases' the merits of an action may be decided during an interlocutory proceeding, this is only “where the parties have expressly agreed to submit the case for final decision at the hearing on the rule for a preliminary Injunction.” Smith v. West Virginia Oil & Gas Co., 373 So.2d 488 , 494 n. 9 (La.1979); see also Arbour v. Total CATV, Inc., 400 So.2d 1155, 1156 (La.App. 1 Cir.), writ denied sub nom.

2016Where, however, "the parties have expressly agreed to submit the case for final decision at the hearing on the rule for a preliminary injunction, the ruling on the preliminary injunction may definitively dispose of the merit issues.” See Smith, 373 So.2d at 494 n. 9.

2025State v. Lewis, 421 So. 2d 224 (La. 1982); State v. Galliano, 396 So. 2d 1288 (La. 1981); State v. Branch, supra. To properly exercise its discretion and for the appellate court to review the exercise of that discretion, the trial court should conduct a hearing or inquiry on defendant’s motion to withdraw a guilty plea.

2023State v. Lewis, 421 So. 2d 224 (La. 1982); State v. Galliano, 396 So. 2d 1288 (La. 1981); State v. McGarr, supra. In order to properly exercise its discretion and in order for the appellate court to review the exercise of that discretion, the trial court should conduct a hearing or inquiry on defendant’s motion to withdraw a guilty plea.

2017Americas asserts that this failure deprived it of the procedural opportunity to present evidence to substantiate its right of action, and it cites Eubanks v. Hoffman, 96-0629 (La.App. 4 Cir. 12/11/96) , 685 So.2d 597 , in support of its argument.

2019State v. Lewis, supra ; State v. Griffin, supra .

1999The facts in the present case are distinguishable from those in State v. Griffin, supra. Under the facts presented in Griffin , this court held that, “In order to properly exercise its discretion and in order for the appellate court to review the exercise of that discretion, the trial court should conduct a hearing or inquiry on defendant’s motion- to withdraw a guilty plea.” However, in Griffin , no hearing whatever was allowed on the motion to withdraw.

2017Exception of Prescription As we stated in Arton v.

2003It urged that the amended petition did not relate back to the original (timely) petition because it did not meet the fourth criterion of Ray v. Alexandria Mall, 434 So.2d 1083 (La.1983): “The purported substitute defendant must not be a wholly new or unrelated defendant.” Counsel for Ms. Morgan argued at the hearing on the exception that he originally sued two defendants: the first, Investment Cars, was totally unrelated to the store, but the second, Southeast Foods, was clarified and correctly named in the amended petition.

2001We conclude Martin should have the opportunity to develop evidence during a hearing on the exception of prescription to address whether amendments to the petition relate back to the time of filing the original petition, see Ray v. Alexandria Mall, 434 So.2d 1083 (La.1983) and succeeding cases, whether the issue of solidarity may be raised to prove interruption of prescription, see Bankston v. B & H Air Tools, Inc., 486 So.2d 199, 200-201 (La.App. 1st Cir.), writ denied, 488 So.2d 1021 (La. 1986), or whether other issues related to prescription may apply.
