I would grant and docket this case to examine the issue of venue in Orleans Parish Civil District Court under the facts presented. See Cacamo v. Liberty Mutual Fire Ins. , 99-3479, p.7 (La. 6/30/00), 764 So. 2d 41, 45 (remarking in dicta that the legislature included the word "only" in La. R.S. 22:1269 "so that article 42 would no longer be read to automatically incorporate supplementary venue provisions"); Green v. Auto Club Group Ins. Co. , 08-2868, p.4 n.4 (La. 10/28/09), 24 So. 3d 182, 184 n.4 (citing Cacamo for the proposition that the "addition of the word ‘only’ in the Direct Action Statute was intended to make clear that the venue exceptions ... did not apply").
