DILLARD DEPARTMENT STORES INC v. PIERSON (2023)

Application for reconsideration not considered. See Louisiana Supreme Court Rule IX, § 6.

I would grant reconsideration and grant and docket this case. As I have stated before, while Supreme Court Rule IX, § 6 prohibits reconsideration of a writ denial, an exception to this rule must exist in order to further the interest of justice in certain extraordinary circumstances where good cause is shown. See Boutte v. Boutte, 2020-00985 (La. 2/9/21), 309 So. 3d 731 (Crichton, J., would grant rehearing and assigns reasons); State v. Hauser, 20-429 (La. 10/6/20), 302 So. 3d 514 (same); State v. Franklin, 19-KK-1454 (La. 1/14/20), 286 So. 3d 1039 (Crichton, J., additionally concurs in the grant of reconsideration); Harris v. Am. Home Assurance Co., 2018-589 (La. 8/31/18), 251 So. 3d 397, 398 (same); Marable v. Empire Truck Sales of La., LLC, 2017-1469 (La. 11/17/17), 230 So.3d 212 (Crichton, J., would grant reconsideration and grant and docket the write application). Because I find good cause shown in this case, under the facts presented, I would grant rehearing and docket the case for oral argument.

Crichton, J., would grant and assigns reasons. Genovese, J., concurs in the result. McCallum, J., would grant. Griffin, J., would grant.
