Supreme Court of Louisiana · Decided April 3, 1992
595 So. 2d 644; 1992 La. LEXIS 1268; 1992 WL 69514 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Rader v. Regional Transit Authority

Opinion of the Court

In re Rader, Gena; — Plaintiff(s); applying for writ of certiorari and/or review, supervisory and/or remedial writs; Parish of Orleans, Civil District Court, Div. “E”, No. 91-10535; to the Court of Appeal, Fourth Circuit, No. 91CW-2781.

Granted. Trial judge correctly denied discovery of RTA’s internal evaluation as to whether the accident was “preventable” and any post-accident disciplinary action taken against the driver. However, the case is remanded to the district court with instructions to the trial judge to conduct an in-camera inspection of the subject documents and to order disclosure of any containing relevant evidence or likely to lead to the discovery of relevant evidence. See Ogea v. Jacobs, 344 So.2d 953 (La. 1977).
