Renfroe v. State ex rel. Dept. of Transportation & Development
Supreme Court of Louisiana
1Opinion of the Court
I,VICTORY, J.
At issue in this case is whether the plaintiffs supplemental and amending petitions, which added Road District No. 1 of the Parish of Jefferson (“Road District No. 1”) and the Greater New Orleans Expressway Commission (“GNOEC”) as defendants outside of the one-year prescriptive period, relates back to an earlier timely filed petition against the State of Louisiana through the Department of Transportation and Development (“DOTD”). After reviewing the record and the applicable law, we reverse the judgments of the lower courts and hold that plaintiffs action has prescribed.
