Louisiana Woman Wins 11-Year Road Dispute Against Neighbors

Mona Matherne of Louisiana won an 11-year legal battle over a private road next to her home. State appeals judges upheld her property rights in November 2026, confirming previous court orders. The court ruled that only the first 1,000 feet of the road was public, protecting Matherne's privacy. This decision bars her neighbors from using the private section of the road.
