Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Julie Richard-Spencer (argued), Louis L. Robein, Jr., Robein, Urann & Lurye, Metairie, LA, for Plaintiff-Appellee.

William R. D'Armond (argued), Gregg R. Kronenberger, Kean, Miller, Hawthorne, D'Armond, McCowan & Jarman, Baton Rouge, LA, for Defendant-Appellant.

Before DeMOSS and BENAVIDES Circuit Judges.
