Opinion

majority opinion

GENOVESE, Justice, would grant a limited rehearing.

For the reasons assigned in my prior dissent, I would grant Glorias Ranchs application for rehearing with respect to the issue of this Courts interpretation of La. Mineral Code art. 140s provision for discretionary damages for non-payment of royalties. I join in the majoritys grant of Tauren Explorations application for rehearing for the limited purpose of remanding the matter for the trial court to consider the effect the reversal of Wells Fargos liability has on the award, particularly as it relates to the virile share accounted for in the EXCO settlement. I also join in the majoritys denial of the remainder of the applications for rehearing.
