City of Hammond v. Conner
Supreme Court of Louisiana · Decided March 27, 1967
250 La. 462; 196 So. 2d 276; 1967 La. LEXIS 2706

City of Hammond v. Conner

Opinion of the Court

In re: Glen Conner applying for writs of certiorari and review.

Writs refused. Since the violation of a city ordinance is not a crime, a prosecution for such violation is not governed by the procedural rules applicable to prosecutions for offenses against the State. See City of New Orleans v. Adjmi, 249 La. 346, 186 So.2d 616 (1966) overruling City of Shreveport v. Bryson, 212 La. 534, 33 So.2d 60 (1947) ; also City of New Orleans v. Cook, 249 La. 820, 191 So.2d 634 (1966). Further, we find no error of law with respect to the other complaints made by relator.
