Chip" Moore, applying for supervisory writs, 19th
Judicial District Court, Parish of East Baton Rouge,

No. 698119.

BEFORE: HIGGINBOTHAM, PENZATO, AND LANIER, JJ.

WRIT DENIED. Once a judgment with appropriate decretal

language is issued by the district court, such a ruling will

represent a final, appealable judgment, and plaintiff will be
entitled to file a motion for an appeal therefrom in accordance
with applicable law. Once an order of appeal is signed, relator

request special assignment pursuant to Uniform Rules of
may
Louisiana Courts of Appeal, Rule 2- 11. 1.

AHP
WIL

Higginbotham, J., concurs in the result. While I agree

that once the judgment is signed it will be a final, appealable

judgment, I acknowledge that the requirement of perfecting an

appeal renders hardship a tragic considering the circumstances

posed by the qualifying deadline.
