COUNSEL FOR APPELLANT:
I. L.

Gremillion, Judge.

On October 12, 2011, the State filed a petition alleging the Juvenile, I.L.,

had committed a simple battery, in violation of La.R.S. 14:35. On January 11,

2012, the parties confected an Informal Adjustment Agreement pursuant to

La.Ch.Code art. 839. In March, the court held a restitution hearing. In June, this

court received an appellate record. On June 12, 2012, this court issued a rule to

show cause why the appeal in this Juvenile case should not be dismissed as the

underlying action, an Informal Adjustment Agreement, is not appealable. Such an

agreement is not an adjudication. La.Ch.Code art. 841(A). This court ordered the

Juvenile to reply by June 19, 2012. No reply has been received; therefore, the

appeal is dismissed.

The Juvenile-Appellant, I.L., is hereby permitted to file a proper application

for supervisory writs, in compliance with Uniform RulesCourts of Appeal, Rules

4 and 5, no later than fifteen days from the date of this decision. Defendant is not

required to file a notice of intent to seek writs nor obtain an order setting return

date pursuant to Uniform RulesCourts of Appeal, Rule 4-3 as we hereby

construe the motion for appeal as a timely filed notice of intent to seek a

supervisory writ. However, the only issue reviewable pursuant to the Informal

Adjustment Agreement would be an alleged violation of La.Ch.Code art. 841(A).

APPEAL DISMISSED. JUVENILE-APPELLANT IS PERMITTED TO

FILE AN APPLICATION FOR SUPERVISORY WRITS WITHIN FIFTEEN

DAYS FROM THE DATE OF THIS DECISION.
