FAUSTINA PIPE LINE COMPANY, Plaintiff-Appellant, v. Helen Lindstrom BERNARD, Defendant-Appellee.
    No. 83-921.
    Court of Appeal of Louisiana, Third Circuit.
    Oct. 10, 1984.
    Rehearing Denied Nov. 26, 1984.
    Writs Denied Jan. 25,1985.
    Elizabeth Jane Hastings and Michael Mangham, Lafayette, Earl H. Willis, St. Martinville, for plaintiff-appellant.
    S. Gerald Simon, New Iberia, for defendant-appellee.
    Before FORET, STOKER, and KNOLL, JJ.
   STOKER, Judge.

For the reasons set out in Fausti-na Pipe Line Company v. Bernard, 458 So.2d 981 (La.App. 3rd Cir.1984), the judgment in favor of defendant, Helen Lind-strom Bernard, and against Faustina Pipe Line Company for just compensation is reduced from $2,929.32 to $1,545.70. The judgment against Faustina Pipe Line Company ordering it to pay the expert fee of Mr. Sam Kennedy is reduced from $2,400 to $1,500, it being understood that the total fee fixed for Mr. Sam Kennedy in this and the case with which it is consolidated is $1,500 and a payment thereof will satisfy both judgments in this respect.

The judgment against Faustina Pipe Line Company ordering it to pay attorney’s fees in the amount of $3,900 is reversed. In all other respects, the judgment of the trial court is affirmed. Costs of this appeal are assessed to defendants-appellees.

AFFIRMED IN PART, AMENDED IN PART AND AFFIRMED AS AMENDED, AND REVERSED IN PART.
