ERICA SULLIVAN NO. 2025 CW 0606
VERSUS

SHERIFF DANIEL EDWARDS,
ATLANTIC SPECIALTY INSURANCE
COMPANY, CORRECTHEALTH

TANGIPAHOA, LLC
JULY 03, 2025

In Re: Erica Sullivan, applying for supervisory writs, 21st
Judicial District Court, Parish of Tangipahoa, No. 2021-
2697.

BEFORE: PENZATO, HESTER, GREENE, STROMBERG, AND BALFOUR, JJ.

STAY DENIED; WRIT GRANTED WITH ORDER. The trial court’s March
27, 2025 order, which denied the Motion to Proceed in Forma
Pauperis filed by plaintiff, Erica Sullivan, is vacated. It appears
the trial court previously signed an order that same day, on March
27, 2025, which granted the Motion to Proceed in Forma Pauperis.
While such status can be reconsidered or revoked by the trial
court, it must be done in a contradictory hearing. See La. Code
Civ. P. art. 5183(B) (3). This matter is remanded to the trial court
for consideration of Erica Sullivan’s Motion to Proceed in Forma
Pauperis in a contradictory hearing.

Greene and Balfour, JJ., concur in part and dissent in part.
We concur in the denial of the stay. However, we dissent and would
deny the writ on the showing made.
