JOHN WARDEN v. ELDORADO RESORTS, INC. D/B/A BELLE OF BATON ROUGE
In Re: Catfish Queen Partnership in Commendam d/b/a the Belle of Baton Rouge Casino, applying for supervisory writs, 19th Judicial District Court, Parish of East Baton Rouge, No. 678815.
BEFORE: McCLENDON, WELCH, AND THERIOT, JJ.
WRIT GRANTED WITH ORDER. We vacate the trial court's August 13, 2021 judgment that denied the motion for summary judgment filed by the defendant, Catfish Queen Partnership in Commendam d/b/a the Belle of Baton Rouge Casino. The trial court failed to "state on the record or in writing the reasons for granting or denying the motion [s]" as required by La. Code Civ. P. art. 966(C)(4). See James as Co-Trustees of Addison Family Trust v. Strobel, 2019-0787 (La.App. 1st Cir. 6/24/20), 2020 WL 3446635 (unpublished), recognizing this provision is mandatory. Thus, this matter is remanded to the trial court for compliance with La. Code Civ. P. art. 966(C)(4).
