ADOPTIONS INTERNATIONAL

In Re: Lisa Pecquet Harell, applying for supervisory writs,
19th Judicial District Court, Parish of East Baton
Rouge, No. 638781.

BEFORE: GUIDRY, C.J., CHUTZ AND LANIER, JJ.

WRIT GRANTED WITH ORDER. The trial court's August 17, 2023
judgment, which denied the Motion for Summary Judgment filed by
defendant, Lisa Pecquet Harell, is vacated. The parties each
raised objections to evidence submitted in support of and in
opposition to the Motion for Summary Judgment. However, the
trial court failed to rule on the admissibility of such
evidence. La. Code Civ. P. art. 966(D) (2) provides that the
court shall specifically state on the record or in writing which
documents, if any, it held to be inadmissible or declined to
consider. This matter is remanded to the trial court for
compliance with La. Code Civ. P. art. 966(D) (2) and a ruling on
the Motion for Summary Judgment filed by the defendant after
determination of any evidentiary issues pursuant to La. Code
Civ. P. art. 966 (C) (4).
