Scamardo v. Dunaway
Louisiana Court of Appeal · Decided May 31, 1994 · Gaudin, Grisbaum, Kliebert
638 So. 2d 466; 1994 La. App. LEXIS 1764; 1994 WL 248254 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Scamardo v. Dunaway

Opinion of the Court

GAUDIN, Judge.

This is an appeal from a district court judgment dismissing appellant’s claims for alienation of his wife’s affections during the course of a now dissolved marriage. This state does not recognize such a cause of action. Until either the Supreme Court of Louisiana or the state legislature authorizes action such as this, it is clear that the trial judge correctly granted defendant’s exception of no cause of action.

Appellant is to bear costs of this appeal.

AFFIRMED.
