and Kenny Ray Chappell, applying for supervisory writs,
19th Judicial District Court, Parish of East Baton
Rouge, No. 728911.

BEFORE : MILLER, EDWARDS, AND FIELDS, JJ.

WRIT GRANTED WITH ORDER. The district court’s August 18, 2025
judgment which granted the dilatory exception of prematurity filed
by defendant, Holly Court Assisted Living & Memory Care, dismissing
plaintiffs’ petition against defendant, is an appealable judgment.
See La. Code Civ. P. art. 1915(A) (1). Therefore, the writ is
granted for the limited purpose of remanding the case to the
district court with instructions to grant plaintiffs an appeal
pursuant to the pleading that notified the district court of
plaintiffs’ intention to seek writs. See In re Howard, 541 So.2d
195, 197 (La. 1989) (per curiam). Additionally, a copy of this
court’s order is to be included in the appellate record.
