SUPREME COURT OF LOUISIANA NO. 02-CD-0995

NEW ORLEANS CAMPAIGN FOR A LIVING WAGE, JEAN MATTHEWS AND PHILOMENIA JOHNSON V. THE CITY OF NEW ORLEANS, MARC MORIAL, MAYOR, THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF NEW ORLEANS AND THE STATE OF LOUISIANA c/w THE SMALL BUSINESS COALITION TO SAVE JOBS, THE LOUISIANA RESTAURANT ASSOCIATION AND THE BUSINESS COUNCIL OF NEW ORLEANS AND THE RIVER REGION V. THE CITY OF NEW ORLEANS

PER CURIAM The application is granted. The execution of the trial court's judgment declaring La. R.S. 23:642 unconstitutional and declaring Ordinance No. 20376, the Increased Minimum Wage Charter Amendment, to be valid is stayed pending further orders of this court. This court almost invariably grants such a stay in cases in which a single judge has declared a law or ordinance unconstitutional. Manuel v. State, 952156 (La. 8/24/95), 695 So. 2d 953; St. Charles Gaming Co. v. River Boat Gaming Commission, 645 So. 2d 208 (La. 1994); State v. Peart, 594 So. 2d 1309 (La. 1992); see Bowen v. Kendrick, 483 U.S. 1304 (1987).
