SUPREME COURT OF LOUISIANA
No. 2025-C-00695
JEROME MORGAN, ON BEHALF OF HIMSELF
AND OTHERS SIMILARLY SITUATED
VS.
BLAIR'S BAIL BONDS, INC.,
BANKERS INSURANCE COMPANY, INC.
On Writ of Certiorari to the Court of Appeal, Fourth Circuit, Parish of Orleans
PER CURIAM
Writ granted. The plaintiff has established a right of action because he belongs to the class of persons that has a legal interest in the matter asserted in the litigation. See La. C.C.P. art. 927(A)(6); Dering v. Dering, 21-691, p. 1 (La. 10/1/21), 324 So.3d 1042 (citing Turner v. Busby, 03-3444, p. 4 (La. 9/9/04), 883 So.2d 412, 415);
Rebel Distributors Corp. v. LUBA Workers' Comp., 13-0749, p. 10 (La. 10/15/13), 144 So.3d 825, 833 (In examining the exception of no right of action, the court should focus on whether the particular plaintiff has a right to bring the suit and is a member of the class of persons that has a legal interest in the subject matter of the litigation, assuming the petition states a valid cause of action for some person.). Accordingly, the judgment of the district court granting the exception of no right of action in favor of Blair's Bail Bonds, Inc. and Bankers Insurance Company is reversed. The case is remanded to the district court for further proceedings.
REVERSED AND REMANDED.
