On Writ of Certiorari to the Court of Appeal, Fourth Circuit, Parish of Orleans
Civil
PER CURIAM.
Writ Granted. The court of appeal erred in limiting its review of the
plaintiff’s appeal to a determination of whether the trial court erred in granting
the ex parte motion to enforce judgment and dismissing the plaintiff’s case with
prejudice. In the context of the plaintiff’s unrestricted appeal of the July 2,
2024 judgment, which was a final and appealable judgment, she was entitled
to seek review of the trial cou rt’s adverse ruling sustaining the defendants’
peremptory exception raising the objection of no cause of action, which was an
interlocutory judgment as the court allowed the plaintiff an opportunity to
amend her petition and did not dismiss her medical malpractice action in the
ruling. See Stanley v. Housing Authority of New Orleans , 23-0192, p. 19 (La.
App. 4th Cir. 11/8/23), 377 So. 3d 389, 403 (“A judgment granting an exception
of no cause of action but providing leave to amend the petition is not a final

judgment or an interlocutory judgment subject to appeal. Rather, such a
judgment merely permits an amendment within the delay allowed by the trial
court as provided by La. C.C.P. art. 934.”). We therefore vacate the judgment
of the court of appeal and rema nd this matter with instructions that the
appellate court consider the merits of the errors assigned by the plaintiff on
appeal.
VACATED AND REMANDED.
