GREMILLION, Judge.

The Louisiana Board of Pharmacy (the Board) filed a supervisory writ in

this matter. Thereafter, the Board filed an appeal in 17-66. Both sought the

reversal of the trial court’s motion to compel the Board to provide information to

the defendants-appellees, the Gachassin Law Firm and Julie Ann Savoy

(Gachassin). Gachassin filed a motion to dismiss the writ application, which we

denied. We granted the writ application for the limited purpose of ordering the

consolidation of the writ with the appeal. We affirm the trial court’s ruling as set

forth in the opinion rendered in in 17-66.

WRIT CONSOLIDATED WITH APPEAL.
