STATE OF LOUISIANA
COURT OF APPEAL, FIRST CIRCUIT

GLOBAL MARKETING SOLUTIONS, NO. 2019 CW 0822
L. L. C.

VERSUS

BLUE MILL FARMS, INC., ET AL AUG 0 5 2019

In Re: Chevron U. S. A. Inc., Exxon Mobil Corporation, and Key
Production Company, Inc., applying for supervisory
writs, 18th Judicial District Court, Parish of West
Baton Rouge, No. 35373.

BEFORE: McDONALD, THERIOT, AND CHUTZ, JJ.

WRIT NOT CONSIDERED. This writ application is untimely.
Rule 4- 3 of the Uniform Rules, Louisiana Courts of Appeal,
provides that the return date in civil cases shall not exceed 30
days from the date of notice as provided in La. Code Civ. P.
art. 1914. Rule 4- 2 provides that the notice of intent, which

requests a return date, must be filed within the time period

provided for in Rule 4- 3. Pursuant to La. Code Civ. P. art.

1914( A), the rendition of an
interlocutory judgment in open

court constitutes notice to all parties. Article 1914( B)
provides that
interlocutory judgments must be reduced to writing
if the court so orders, if a party requests the judgment to be
reduced to writing within ten days of the rendition in open

court, or if the court takes the matter under advisement. In
this case, the trial court rendered its judgment in open court

on April 2, 2019, and according to the transcript provided, the
court did not order the judgment reduced to writing.
Accordingly, the time delay began to run on that date and

expired on May 2, 2019, prior to the filing of the notice of

intent by relators.
