FRENCH JORDAN, INC., ET AL. * NO. 2007-C-0007 * COURT OF APPEAL * FOURTH CIRCUIT * STATE OF LOUISIANA VERSUS TRAVELERS INSURANCE COMPANY, ET AL. * * ******* BELSOME, J. CONCURS IN THE RESULT WITH REASONS. I respectfully concur in the result of the majority opinion. However, I find the emphasis placed on the pure dicta of the Lewis case erroneous. The instant case does not conflict with the case law of Lewis. In Lewis this Court affirmed the trial court’s ruling on an exception of venue because both defendants in the suit were non-Louisiana corporations with principal offices in Jefferson Parish. Thus, proper venue was Jefferson Parish not Orleans Parish. The entire analysis of La. C.C.P. art 76.1 in Lewis is nothing more than dicta. Accordingly, I do not find that the majority opinion overrules the case law of Lewis.
