STATE OF LOUISIANA

COURT OF APPEAL, FIRST CIRCUIT

STATE OF LOUISIANA IN THE NO. 2021 CW 0309
INTEREST OF S. D. AND H. D.

MARCH 22, 2021

In Re: Mary Savoye and Irwin Savoye, Jr., applying for

supervisory writs, 22nd Judicial District Court,
Parish of St. Tammany, No. JC - 0530- 2020.

BEFORE: THERIOT, WOLFE, AND HESTER, JJ.

WRIT DENIED; STAY DENIED. Louisiana Children' s Code

articles 697 and 707 provide that for ' Ngood cause shown, the

court ... may allow any interested person ... to intervene in

the case review and permanency review proceedings, respectively,
to facilitate the permanent plan for the child and to insure
that the best interests of the child are protected." Under

these provisions, intervention is limited to the purpose of

facilitating the child' s permanent placement and protecting the
child' s best interests. State ex rel. A. L., 2009- 1085 ( La. App.
1st Cir. 10/ 27/ 09), 29 So. 3d 618. Accordingly, we find no error
in the trial court' s ruling which deferred decision on the

Petition for Intervention until the case review and permanency
proceedings.
