Industrias Magromer Cueros Y Pieles S.a., Plaintiff-appellee, v. Louisiana Bayou Furs Inc., et al., Defendants,louisiana Bayou Furs Inc., William L. Berry, Defendants-appellants, 310 F.3d 786 (5th Cir. 2002)

The Defendants-Appellants' (Louisiana Bayou Furs, Inc. ("Bayou Furs") and William L. Berry ("Berry")) Petition for Rehearing is DENIED. In denying rehearing, we clarify a statement in Part X of the opinion. In Part X, we stated that "the fact that we have granted judgment as a matter of law for Berry on the LUTPA claim does not affect the judgment or his liability for the damages." As the Defendants-Appellants point out, the statutory claim for attorneys' fees in this case was under the Louisiana Unfair Trade Practices Act ("LUTPA"). Because we granted judgment as a matter of law in favor of Berry on the LUTPA claim, Berry is not liable to the Plaintiff-Appellee for attorneys' fees. However, this does not affect Bayou Furs's liability to the Defendants-Appellants or Berry's liability for the damages awarded by the jury. In all other respects, the Petition for Panel Rehearing is DENIED.
