Judge grants New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell more time to respond to civil rights lawsuit

NEW ORLEANS (WGNO) — A judge has granted New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell a 21-day extension to respond to the civil rights lawsuit filed against her in July.

The lawsuit was filed by Anne Breaud, who claims her civil rights were violated when personal information, including her address, birthday, social security number and license photo, were made public during Cantrell’s attempt to get a restraining order against her.

Cantrell filed a temporary restraining order against Breaud in May.

Cantrell accused Breaud of “stalking” her, after Breaud gave photos to the media of Cantrell and her New Orleans Police Department security guard, Jeffrey Vappie, dining at Tableau restaurant in the French Quarter.

Breaud responded that she simply had a clear view of the restaurant, from her unit in the Pontalba Apartments across the street.

In June, a judge dismissed Cantrell’s restraining order case.

On Monday, Aug. 19, a judge granted Cantrell, her staff and other defendants the 21-day extension to respond to Breaud’s lawsuit, agreeing to their request for more time to prepare.
