In Re: Justin Savoy, applying for supervisory writs, 20th
Judicial District Court, Parish of West Feliciana, No.
23359.

BEFORE: GUIDRY, C. J., THERIOT, CHUTZ, WOLFE AND HESTER, JJ.

WRIT GRANTED IN PART WITH ORDER AND DENIED IN PART. The
district court' s June 27, 2024 appellate pauper order is vacated.
Once the district court granted relator an appeal and set a return
date, it no longer had jurisdiction to issue a subsequent pauper
order. La. Code Civ. P. art. 2088; see Mason v. Hedrick, 2019- 113
La. App. 3d Cir. 4/ 17/ 19), 268 So. 3d 1074. This matter is
remanded with instructions that the district court proceed with

lodging the appellate record with this court pursuant to the
district court' s order granting the appeal. To the extent

plaintiff, Justin Savoy, seeks review of the merits in this matter,

which this court has previously ruled should be taken up on appeal,
the writ application is denied.
