  • 1 United States District Court Middle District of Louisiana
    UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT MIDDLE DISTRICT OF LOUISIANA KENNETH HALL CIVIL ACTION VERSUS STATE OF LOUISIANA, ET AL. NO.: 12-00657-BAJ-RLB RULING, ORDER, AND JUDGMENT This matter is before the Court pursuant to Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 (“VRA”) and the VRA amendments of 1982, 52 U.S.C. § 10301 (previously codified at 42 U.S.C. § 1973), the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments to the U.S. Constitution, and 42 U.S.C. §§ 1983, 1986.1 Plaintiff Kenneth Hall and Plaintiff- Intervenor Byron Sharper (together, “Plaintiffs”) are African American citizens of the United States and residents of the State of Louisiana. They are residents of the City of Baton Rouge and are registered to vote there. Plaintiffs claim that the current districting system for election to the City Court of Baton Rouge effectively affords black minority voters of Baton Rouge less opportunity to elect judicial candidates of their choice to the City Court. Plaintiffs seek declaratory and injunctive relief pursuant to VRA Section 2; a “bail-in” of the 1 Claims under the First Amendment, VRA Section 5, and the Privileges and Immunities Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment were included in the Complaints but have since been dismissed against all Defendants, either due to Court ruling or abandonment by Plaintiffs. (See Doc. 173; Doc. 240 at pp. 9–10; Doc. 359 at p. 30). 1 State of Louisiana pursuant to VRA Section 3(c);2 damages, inclusive of costs and litigation expenses; and attorney’s fees. (See Doc. 359 at ¶ 148). Trial was held in this matter on August 4–6, 2014 and, due to a medical emergency that necessitated the recess and continuance of trial, on November 17– 19, 2014.

  • Membership in the Louisiana House of Representatives
    MEMBERSHIP IN THE LOUISIANA HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 1812 - 2024 Revised – July 28, 2021 David R. Poynter Legislative Research Library Louisiana House of Representatives 1 2 PREFACE This publication is a result of research largely drawn from Journals of the Louisiana House of Representatives and Annual Reports of the Louisiana Secretary of State. Other information was obtained from the book, A Look at Louisiana's First Century: 1804-1903, by Leroy Willie, and used with the author's permission. The David R. Poynter Legislative Research Library also maintains a database of House of Representatives membership from 1900 to the present at http://drplibrary.legis.la.gov . In addition to the information included in this biographical listing the database includes death dates when known, district numbers, links to resolutions honoring a representative, citations to resolutions prior to their availability on the legislative website, committee membership, and photographs. The database is an ongoing project and more information is included for recent years. Early research reveals that the term county is interchanged with parish in many sources until 1815. In 1805 the Territory of Orleans was divided into counties. By 1807 an act was passed that divided the Orleans Territory into parishes as well. The counties were not abolished by the act. Both terms were used at the same time until 1845, when a new constitution was adopted and the term "parish" was used as the official political subdivision. The legislature was elected every two years until 1880, when a sitting legislature was elected every four years thereafter. (See the chart near the end of this document.) The War of 1812 started in June of 1812 and continued until a peace treaty in December of 1814.

We submit that this new mission has now begun to bear fruit. This designation has resulted in a shift from our agency being one that primarily generates reports, to an agency focused primarily on white-collar criminal activity. As a law enforcement agency, the office is statutorily authorized to access confidential criminal databases maintained by the FBI and Louisiana State Police, can obtain and execute criminal search warrants, and apply for and serve criminal investigative subpoenas. Our staff members who are criminal investigators, as well as the Inspector General himself, are trained and certified under Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST) to carry and use firearms, and have received Special Officer Commissions from the Louisiana State Police. They work shoulder-to-shoulder with experienced auditors who conduct forensic audits and complement the work of our criminal investigators.
