New Orleans DA's Chapter 9?
A couple of years ago, it looked like New Orleans itself would have to file for Chapter 9. Now it might just be the DA's office, which is mulling a rare Chapter 9 filing. To file for Chapter 9, an entity must be a "municipality," which is defiend as a "political subdivision or public agency or instrumentality of a State." I guess the local DA's office qualifies. Interesting game of chicken with the tort plaintiff who was wrongfully convicted of murder.
