Writ Application from Calcasieu Parish Case No. 50-559
BEFORE JUDGES: Hon. Jimmie C. Peters Hon. John E. Conery D. Kent Savoie 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.
