Succession of Tom Frank Self

STATE OF LOUISIANA
COURT OF APPEAL, FIRST CIRCUIT

SUCCESSION OF TOM FRANK SELF NO. 2026 CW 0867

AUGUST 7, 2026

In Re: Tonya Sheree Saldana, applying for supervisory writs,
21st Judicial District Court, Parish of Livingston, No.
20277.

BEFORE : WOLFE, STROMBERG, AND BALFOUR, JJ.

WRIT NOT CONSIDERED. This writ application failed to include
a complete copy of each pleading on which the judgment at issue in
this writ application is founded, a complete copy of the opposition
and all attachments thereto, the pertinent court minutes, and
return date order, in violation of Rule 4-5(C) (8), (9), (10) and
(11) of the Uniform Rules of Louisiana Courts of Appeal. Moreover,
although relator supplemented the writ application with a June 11,
2026 judgment, the notice of intent referenced a May 28, 2026
judgment, and the writ application does not contain a copy of that
judgment if that is the judgment at issue herein.

In addition, in the supplement filed by relator, she
referenced rulings subsequent to the filing of this writ
application. However, those rulings are not properly before this
court as they occurred after the writ application was filed.
Moreover, although there is no explicit statutory prohibition
against challenging multiple orders in a single writ application,
the Uniform Rules of Louisiana Courts of Appeal, Rules 4-2 and 4-
S(C) refer only to the “ruling . . . at issue” and the “ruling
complained of.” Therefore, we decline to consider multiple
judgments in a single writ application. See Succession of Burgo,
2019-0612 (La. App. Ist Cir. 8/5/19), 2019 WL 3574213
(unpublished). In the event relator seeks review of multiple
judgments or orders, she must timely do so separately as to each
such judgment or order

Supplementation of this writ application and/or an
application for rehearing will not be considered. Uniform Rules of
Louisiana Courts of Appeal, Rules 2-18.7 & 4-9.

In the event relator seeks to file a new application with
this court, it must contain all pertinent documentation, including
the missing items noted herein, and must comply with Uniform Rules
of Louisiana Courts of Appeal, Rule 2-12.2. Any new application
must be filed on or before September 9, 2026, and must contain a
copy of this ruling.
