WRIT GRANTED WITH ORDER. The district court' s January 30,
2021 order which set hearing
a on exceptions, but attempted to

except from such hearing the exceptions previously heard and

decided by the court, is vacated. The per curiam judgment of

the Louisiana Supreme Court herein vacated and set aside the

district court' s judgment herein. All of the rulings of the

district court, including its rulings on the exceptions filed
herein, were included in that single judgment. Accordingly, the
district court erred in refusing to hearing
set the
a on

exceptions as it appears all rulings were vacated by the Supreme
Court. The district court is instructed to schedule a hearing on
the exceptions as requested in the motion to reset exceptions on
a date which allows sufficient time for all parties to be
noticed of the matters to be heard.
