WESLEY THIBODEAUX v. STATE FARM FIRE AND CASUALTY COMPANY


ORDER AND REASONS

Before the Court is plaintiff Wesley Thibodeaux's motion to stay. On March 30, 2012, the Louisiana Supreme Court granted a writ application in Duckworth v. Louisiana Farm Bureau Mutual Ins. Co., No. 2011-C-2385, and Quinn, et al. v. Louisiana Citizens Property Ins. Corp., No. 2012-C-0152. These cases address the issue of whether filing class action lawsuits suspends the running of prescription against insureds who file individual lawsuits before a class certification determination is made. Because this prescription issue could be dispositive in this matter, the Court GRANTS plaintiff's motion.

R. Doc. 13.

Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that the above captioned matter is stayed and ADMINISTRATIVELY CLOSED pending final disposition of Duckworth v. Louisiana Farm Bureau Mutual Ins. Co. , No. 2011-C-2385, and Quinn, et al. v. Louisiana Citizens Property Ins. Corp., No. 2012-C-0152.

New Orleans, Louisiana, this 12th day of April, 2012.
