of East Baton Rouge, No. 690357.

BEFORE: CHUTZ, LANIER, AND HESTER, JJ.

WRIT GRANTED WITH ORDER. The trial court' s April 16, 2021
judgment granting Dr. Jeffrey P. Cunniff' s motion for summary
judgment and dismissing all claims of plaintiffs, Dichele White
and Julian White, against Dr. Cunniff, with prejudice is a final
appealable judgment. See La. Code Civ. P. art. 1915A( l) and ( 3).
Therefore, the writ application is granted, for the limited
purpose of remanding the case to the trial court with

instructions to grant relators, Dichele White and Julian White,

an appeal pursuant to the pleading that notified the trial court
of their intention to seek supervisory writs. See In re Howard,
541 So. 2d 195, 197 ( La. 1989) ( per curiam). In the event

plaintiffs, Dichele White and Julian White, seek to appeal the
trial court' s judgment, they shall submit an order for appeal to
the trial court within thirty days of this court' s order.

Additionally, a copy of this court' s order is to be included in
