IN RE WRIGHT & GRAY, LLC

APPLYING FOR SUPERVISORY WRIT FROM THE TWENTY-FOURTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT,
PARISH OF JEFFERSON, STATE OF LOUISIANA, DIRECTED TO THE HONORABLE DONALD A.
ROWAN, JR., DIVISION "L", NUMBER 843-585

Panel composed of Judges Jude G. Gravois,
Marc E. Johnson, and Scott U. Schlegel

WRIT GRANTED FOR A LIMITED PURPOSE

Relator, Wright & Gray, LLC, seeks emergency, expedited review of the

24th Judicial District Court’s July 28, 2025 ruling which declined to grant its ex-

parte Motion to Dissolve Writ of Fieri Facias, filed to collect an award of

attorney’s fees, but instead, set the matter for hearing on August 25, 2025.

Relator requests that this court correct the lower court’s alleged manifest error

by either (1) issuing an order staying execution or levy of the writ of fieri facias,

(2) directing the district court to sign the order dissolving the improvidently

granted writ of fieri facias, or (3) directing the Sheriff of Jefferson Parish to stay

the execution or levy of the writ of fieri facias.

25-C-351

Upon review, we grant the writ for the limited purpose of staying the

execution or levy of the writ of fieri facias pending the district court’s ruling on

Relator’s Motion to Dissolve Writ, as the issue is in the process of being

litigated by the court.

Gretna, Louisiana, this 8th day of August, 2025.

SCHLEGEL, J., DISSENTS WITH REASONS
