APPEAL: Vacated and Remanded

Victory!  In this tort case involving a fatal shooting outside of an apartment complex, the Louisiana Fourth Circuit vacated the district court's dismissal of plaintiff's inadequate security case on prescription grounds.  The court remanded the case (1) for plaintiff to have an opportunity to amend her petition to plead additional facts showing the applicability of contra non valentum and (2) for an evidentiary hearing to see if contra non valentum suspended the running of prescription.
