Although this settlement was confected prior to this court’s grant of certiorari on January 18, 2013, defendant did not inform this court of the partial settlement until February 8, 2013, when it filed its brief. 05/07/13 SUPREME COURT OF LOUISIANA NO. 2012-C-2369 JAMES KEYS VERSUS REPUBLIC SERVICES/ALLIED WASTE OF ACADIANA-SCOTT, AND CANNON COCHRAN MANAGEMENT SERVICES, INC.
