STATE OF LOUISIANA COURT OF APPEAL, FIRST CIRCUIT RICHARD A. WHITNEY, RYAN NO. 2025 CW 0842 WHITNEY, AND THE RA WHITNEY TRUSTS VERSUS CLEARVIEW CABLE LLC D/B/A CLEARVIEW SOLAR; SHANE RICHARDSON; BRAD HUGHES; TOBY DUBOIS; JNT LOUISIANA, LLC; AND WT CONSTRUCTION, INC. NOVEMBER 17, 2025 In Re: Brad Hughes and Shane Richardson, applying for supervisory writs, 19th Judicial District Court, Parish of East Baton Rouge, No. 738081.

BEFORE : MILLER, EDWARDS, AND FIELDS, JJ.

WRIT DENIED.

BDE WEF Miller, J3., dissents and would grant the writ. I find the district court erred in overruling the evidentiary objection of defendants, Shane Richardson and Brad Hughes, to the affidavit of Richard Whitney and the attachments thereto. The affidavit did not contain sufficient information to determine that the affidavit was based on personal knowledge and to authenticate the attached documents. In addition, the deposition excerpts submitted by plaintiff with his reply memorandum were inadmissible. No additional documents may be filed with the reply memorandum. La. Code Civ. P. art. 966(B) (3). Upon exclusion of this evidence, I would reverse the July 16, 2025 judgment of the district court and deny the motion for partial summary judgment filed by plaintiff, Richard Whitney, in his capacity as Trustee of the RA Whitney Inter Vivos Trusts.
