Michelle COLEMAN, et al. v. TRANSIT MANAGEMENT OF SOUTHEAST LOUISIANA, INC., et al.

Court of Appeal of Louisiana, Fourth Circuit.

November 10, 1998.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Jackson B. Bolinger, Law Offices of Jackson B. Bolinger, New Orleans, Louisiana, Attorney for Relator.

William J. Hamlin, William C. Ellison, Bordelon, Hamlin & Theriot, New Orleans, Louisiana, Attorneys for Respondent.

Court composed of Chief Judge PATRICK M. SCHOTT, Judge DENIS A. BARRY, and Judge CHARLES R. JONES.


SCHOTT, Chief Judge.

On the application of Material Resource Planners, Inc. (MRP), we grant certiorari in order to consider the validity of a judgment of the trial court granting summary judgment against MRP in favor of Bridgestone/Firestone, Inc. (BFS). The issue is whether MRP's contractual duty to indemnify BFS is triggered by the pleadings or whether that duty is not triggered until a judicial determination that BFS is liable. We reverse.
