Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit May 12, 1989, 88-4396 (Elizabeth M. Hensgens, Individually, Etc. v. Deere & Company)

WISDOM, Circuit Judge:

In this case the original complaint named

John Deere Corporation

as the defendant. The defendant’s correct corporate name is

Deere & Company.

This misnomer raises the question whether under Louisiana law the complaint, timely filed in a court of competent jurisdiction and venue, interrupted the one-year liberative prescription applicable to delictual actions.
