Martin Exploration Co. v. JHJ Ltd. I

Supreme Court of Louisiana May 25, 1982

Martin Exploration Co. v. JHJ Ltd. I, 414 So. 2d 773 (La. 1982)

1982 La. LEXIS 11138

Appeal, Calogero, Dated, Grant, Marcus, Reinstate, Ruling

Opinion of the Court

In Re: JHJ Limited I and JHJ Drilling Company Applying for Writ of Certiorari or Review and Stay Order, Parish of Livingston, No. 39,097. .

Denied on showing made.

Concurring Opinion

CALOGERO, Justice,

concurs in the denial, but is of the view that the ruling does not preclude relators seeking an expedited ruling from the trial court (even prior to May 28, 1982) relative to the rule to show cause heard on May 21, 1982 (and taken under advisement by the trial court) in which relator seeks an injunction order allowing plugging and abandonment of the well and removal of drilling equipment and materials.

MARCUS, J., would grant and set aside ruling of the court of appeal and reinstate the judgment of the district court dated May 22, 1982.
