Wheat v. Contwell
Citations: 773 So. 2d 144; 2000 La. LEXIS 3080; 2000 WL 1707022Docket: No. 2000-CC-2361
Court: Supreme Court of Louisiana; November 2, 2000; Louisiana; State Supreme Court
The application for a writ of certiorari and/or review filed by Danial C. Vidrine in the Parish of Livingston, 21st Judicial District Court, was deemed moot because the underlying case, which led to Vidrine's disqualification, has already been tried. The court indicated that any statements in the Court of Appeal's judgment referring to other cases beyond the current litigation are considered dicta, meaning they are not essential to the decision and do not hold binding authority. The concurrence of Justice Knoll reinforces the conclusion that the application lacks relevance following the trial outcome.
