December 1, 2004.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Jerry J. Guillot, Baton Rouge, Glenn Alan Koepp, Mary Florence Quaid, Baton Rouge, Alfred William Speer, II, Counsel for Applicant.

Charles C. Foti, Jr., Attorney General, Roy Achille Mongrue, Jr., Angie Rogers LaPlace, Thomas Leslie Enright, Jr., Assistant Attorney Generals, James Harold Napper, II, Baton Rouge, Jon Eric Boustany, Counsel for Respondent.

TRAYLOR, J.

We granted certiorari in this case to consider whether a court has the authority to issue a writ of mandamus to the Louisiana State Legislature and the State Treasurer, under theses circumstances, to order them to appropriate and pay funds to satisfy a judgment against the State of Louisiana. On review, we find that such a directive would impermissibly infringe upon the legislature's inherent power to legislate.
