SUPREME COURT OF LOUISIANA
No. 2022-C-1280
IN THE MATTER OF THE INTERDICTION
OF GARRETT J. CLAYBOURN
On Writ of Certiorari to the Court of Appeal, First Circuit,
Parish of East Baton Rouge
PERCURIAM
Writ granted. There is no requirement in the Louisiana Code of Civil
Procedure that attorneys file a formal motion to enroll as counsel of record. Further,
pursuant to Rule 9.12 of the Uniform Rules for District Courts, the first responsive
pleading serves as a motion to enroll. As such, without reaching the merits of the
underlying litigation, we find no valid grounds to sanction the applicant in this case.
Therefore, the judgment of the district court is vacated, and this case is remanded
for further proceedings.
VACATED AND REMANDED.
