Background
Donald Lee Francis, proceeding in proper person, sought appellate review in a matter against the Clerk of Court for Lafayette Parish. The writ application arose from Lafayette Parish Case Nos. C-20262817 and C-20150392.
The rehearing action does not describe Francis’s underlying claims, the rulings challenged in his writ application, or the court’s earlier disposition. It identifies a three-judge panel consisting of Jonathan W. Perry, Charles G. Fitzgerald, and Gary J. Ortego.
The Court’s Holding
The Louisiana Court of Appeal, Third Circuit denied Francis’s application for rehearing on July 22, 2026.
The court provided no reasons or legal analysis for the denial. The rehearing action therefore establishes only that rehearing was denied; it does not announce a substantive holding concerning the underlying dispute.
Key Takeaways
- Francis’s application for rehearing was denied.
- The court issued no explanation for its decision.
- The action was designated “Not Designated for Publication.”
Why It Matters
The denial leaves the court’s prior disposition of Francis’s writ application undisturbed. Because the court supplied no reasoning and the action was not designated for publication, it offers no substantive guidance beyond the procedural result in this case.
