Acy v. Allen Parish Police Jury

WILLIAM A. CULPEPPER, Judge Pro Tern.

The plaintiff, John P. Acy, applied for a permit on October 19, 1983 to sell beer containing 3.2 percent alcohol by volume in Ward 3 of Allen Parish. The application was denied on November 8, 1983 by the parish police jury relying on Ordinance No. 1082 adopted in 1941. Mr. Acy applied to the district court for a writ of mandamus to compel the police jury to issue the permit. On May 11, 1984 the district court rendered judgment in favor of Mr. Acy. This judgment was affirmed by the court of appeal in an opinion rendered on October 10, 1985 in 476 So.2d 566.
