IN RE DEBORAH B. WEISER

APPLYING FOR SUPERVISORY WRIT FROM THE TWENTY-FOURTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT,
PARISH OF JEFFERSON, STATE OF LOUISIANA, DIRECTED TO THE HONORABLE LEE V. FAULKNER,
JR., DIVISION "P", NUMBER 782-693, 756-148 C/W 784-323

Panel composed of Judges Jude G. Gravois,
John J. Molaison, Jr., and Scott U. Schlegel

WRIT DISMISSED

Relator, Deborah B. Weiser, seeks this Court’s supervisory review of the

trial court’s judgment of October 9, 2024, which awarded sanctions in favor of

Elizabeth Castille and against relator.

Upon review, we find that the judgment complained of is a final judgment

per La. C.C.P. art. 1915(A)(6), which provides:

A. A final judgment may be rendered and signed by the court, even
though it may not grant the successful party or parties all of the relief
prayed for, or may not adjudicate all of the issues in the case, when
the court:
***
(6) Imposes sanctions or disciplinary action pursuant to Article
191, 863, or 864 or Code of Evidence Article 510(G).

Thus, this Court does not have supervisory jurisdiction to review this final

judgment.

Relator filed a notice of intent to file an appeal from the “final judgment” in

the 24th Judicial District Court on November 6, 2024. The district court’s order of

November 8, 2024, granted the appeal “in accordance with La. C.C.P. art. 2083

and 2123.”

Thus, it appears that relator’s intent was to file an appeal, and that the

district court granted the appeal. The Clerk of Court for the 24 th Judicial District

Court should proceed to process the district court’s order of November 8, 2024 as

an appeal.

Accordingly, this writ application is dismissed.

Gretna, Louisiana, this 11th day of December, 2024.
