Filing
21
ORDER & REASONS granting 14 Motion to Stay. ORDERED that the above captioned matter is stayed and ADMINISTRATIVELY CLOSED as set forth herein. Signed by Chief Judge Sarah S. Vance on 4/12/12. (plh, )
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
EASTERN DISTRICT OF LOUISIANA
WARD ROOSEVELT
CIVIL ACTION
VERSUS
NO: 11-1741
STATE FARM FIRE AND CASUALTY
COMPANY
SECTION: R(4)
ORDER AND REASONS
Before the Court is plaintiff Ward Roosevelt’s motion to
stay.1
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.
1
R. Doc. 14.
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. 2011C-2385, and Quinn, et al. v. Louisiana Citizens Property Ins.
Corp., No. 2012-C-0152.
New Orleans, Louisiana, this 12th day of April, 2012.
