A disqualification plan was submitted for approval involving the transaction with Liberty National Life Insurance Company (Liberty National) and the Office of the District Attorney for the 15th Judicial District while the spouse of the Administrative Assistant of the Vermilion Parish Office of the 15th Judicial District is employed by Liberty National.

Keith Stutes has entered into negotiations with Liberty National to provide insurance programs to employees of the Office of the District Attorney who may desire such services. He stated that Kevin Manceaux has not and will not be involved in the negotiation, placement, or servicing of the insurance programs. At all times, this will be determined solely by him and a separate, non-related representative of Liberty National. Tricia Manceaux has not and will not be involved in the negotiation or placement of the contractual arrangements between the Office of the District Attorney or Liberty National. Any additional assistance would be provided by the Finance Director and Human Resources Director of the Office of the District Attorney.
