IN RE WELDON KNIGHTON v. << (2016)

Court of Appeal of Louisiana, Third Circuit.

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

Docket Number: 16 00596-KW

Decided: November 09, 2016

BEFORE JUDGES: Hon. Jimmie C. Peters Hon. John E. Conery D. Kent Savoie

George Vincent Perez, Jr., Attorney at Law, 1425 N. Broad Av., Ste 201, New Orleans LA 70119

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.
