STATE OF LOUISIANA

VERSUS
STEWART HUGHES AND KACI                    NOVEMBER 27, 2023
GONZALES

In Re:    Derrick Jerome Allen, applying for supervisory writs,
          20th   Judicial   District  Court,  Parish   of West
          Feliciana, No. 24736.

BEFORE:   GUIDRY, C.J., THERIOT, CHUTZ, LANIER AND WOLFE, JJ.

     WRIT DENIED.

                                 MRT
                                 WRC
                                 EW

     Guidry, C.J., and Lanier, J., dissent and would vacate and
remand to the district court with instructions to rule upon the
plaintiff's pauper motion pursuant to La. Code Civ. P. art.
5181, et seq. We find the petition filed by the plaintiff,
Derrick Jerome Allen, against the defendants, Stewart Hughes and
Kaci Gonzales, does not constitute a "prisoner suit" under the
Prison Litigation Reform Act, La. R.S. 15:1181, et seq., because
it does not involve "conditions of confinement or the effects of
actions by government officials on the lives of persons confined
in prison." La. R.S. 15:1181(2).        ••
