In Re Delta Development Co.

2 So. 2d 188 | La. | 1941

Lead Opinion

This is a companion case to In re Louisiana Coastal Lands, Inc., et al., 2 So. 2d 184.¹ The issues and facts in both cases are identical, and the only difference between *713 them is that different defendants are involved.

For the reasons assigned in In re Louisiana Coastal Lands, Inc., et al., 2 So. 2d 184,¹ this cause is remanded to the lower court in order that the subpoena duces tecum may be modified consistent with the views therein expressed.

¹ 197 La. 701.

Concurrence Opinion

I concur in the opinion that the judge of the criminal district court should modify his order to produce the books and records of the corporation, so as to make the order a reasonable one; but, inasmuch as this investigation is in the nature of a criminal proceeding, being conducted under the provisions of article 156 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, I do not consider the articles of the Code of Practice, relating to writs of subpoena duces tecum, as being applicable to this case.
