Heirs of De La Lande v. Treasurer of the State of Louisiana

THIS case was brought up from the supreme court of the State of Louisiana, by a writ of error, issued under the 25th section of the judiciary act.

Mr. Dunbar moved the court to allow him to strike out his appearance for the State of Louisiana; and further moved the court to dismiss the case, on the ground that no process had been issued against, or served on, the chief executive magistrate and attorney-general of the State of Louisiana, under the 10th rule of this court.

Mr. Janin opposed the motion.

Mr. Chief Justice TANEY delivered the opinion of the court.
