Father Terence Patrick Hayden V‪.‬

Plaintiff-appellant, Father Terence Patrick Hayden, sued the defendants-appellees, Archbishop Francis B. Schulte, and the Roman Catholic Church of the Archdiocese of New Orleans, essentially for damage to his reputation and loss of employment along with subsidiary allegations concerning an illegal lie-detector test. Defendants urged an exception of lack of subject matter jurisdiction, which was originally denied but was granted when the defendants moved that it be reconsidered and briefed the matter more extensively. Plaintiff's motion for a new trial was then denied. Plaintiff appeals the granting of defendants' exception dismissing his claim and the denial of his motion for a new trial. We reverse.
