Charles M. Rush, APLC, Charles Morris Rush , Lafayette, LA, for Respondent.

Luke Francis Piontek , Baton Rouge, LA, for Acadian Ambulance Service, Inc. Amicus Curiae.

PER CURIAM.

At issue is whether the court of appeal erred in holding the district court was manifestly erroneous in finding that a governmental entity proved a sufficient public necessity for expropriating property. For the reasons that follow, we conclude the court of appeal did not properly apply the manifest error standard of review. Accordingly, we reverse the judgment of the court of appeal and reinstate the judgment of the district court.
