NEW ORLEANS — A federal judge has granted New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell more time to respond to a lawsuit filed by Anne Breaud, the woman who took pictures of the mayor with her then bodyguard Jeffery Vappie.
Cantrell, her chief of staff Clifton Davis, and three New Orleans police officers requested a 21-day extension to respond to a federal civil rights lawsuit filed by Breaud.
Breaud claims in her lawsuit that she was defamed by the mayor and the officers when Cantrell filed a protective order that included private, damaging, and false information about her.
Cantrell filed the protective order after Braud took pictures of her on the balcony of a restaurant with her former police bodyguard Jeffrey Vappie.
Since then, a judge dismissed Cantrell’s protective order against Breaud.
