Gravois v. State ex rel. Department of State Civil Service, Commission on Ethics for Public Employees

Opinion of the Court

In re Ethics Commission Pub. Emp.; Applying for Writ of Certiorari and/or Review; to the Court of Appeal, First Circuit, Number CW/86/1605; State Civil Service Commission Number 86-188.

Granted. Remanded to Court of Appeal which is instructed to consider the application for rehearing.

Concurring Opinion

LEMMON, J.,

concurs. Pursuant to Rule 2-18.7, an application for rehearing will not be considered when the court has merely granted a writ. However, the court in this case did not merely grant a writ (to be eventually docketed for argument). Here, the court granted a writ and simultaneously issued a peremptory decision reversing the decision of the Commission. Under these circumstances, the aggrieved party is statutorily entitled to apply for a rehearing.
