RACER v. NATIONAL GENERAL INSURANCE COMPANY (2026)

Court of Appeal of Louisiana, Second Circuit.

Charles B. RACER, Plaintiff-Appellee v. NATIONAL GENERAL INSURANCE COMPANY, Defendant-Appellant

No. 56,859-CA

Decided: March 11, 2026

Before STEPHENS, HUNTER, and ELLENDER, JJ.

RICHIE, RICHIE & OBERLE, LLP, By: Paul D. Oberle, Jr., Byron A. Richie, Counsel for Appellant GREGORY G. ELIAS, Counsel for Appellee

National General Insurance Company appealed a default judgment in favor of Charles B. Racer, rendered by the Fourth Judicial District Court. After the matter was lodged and docketed for oral argument, the parties advised the court they were now in agreement that the appeal had merit, and the judgment should be reversed. Since the case did not meet the criteria for dismissal under URCA Rule 11, the parties filed a joint motion to reverse the judgment and remand. Our own review of the record confirms the law and evidence support this requested relief. Consequently, the default judgment is hereby reversed and the case is remanded to the Fourth Judicial District Court for further proceedings, with each party to bear its own costs.

JUDGMENT REVERSED AND CASE REMANDED.

ELLENDER, J.
