Pioneer Bank & Trust Co. v. Odum

Supreme Court of Louisiana · Decided February 21, 1963 · Applicant, Art, Contempt, Extent, Granted, Hawthorne, Hence, Himself, Illegal, McCaleb, Rights, Sentence, Should, Summers, That, Violative

149 So. 2d 769; 243 La. 1021; 1963 La. LEXIS 2211 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Opinion of the Court

In re: Paul L. Odum, Sr., applying for writ of review.

Writs refused. The applicant has not shown that he is ready and willing to purge himself of contempt.

HAWTHORNE, McCALEB and SUMMERS, JJ., believe that the sentence is illegal, being violative of R.S. 13:4611(A) (3); Art. 226, C.C.P. Hence, the writs should be granted to that extent as the majority view herein divests applicant of his absolute statutory rights to purge himself of contempt.
