COUNSEL FOR PLAINTIFF
Town of Port Barre

Cooks, Judge.

On April 23, 2007, Defendant-Appellant, Eugene K. Soileau, was found guilty

of improper display of license plate. He was sentenced to pay a fine of $25.00 plus

court cost or serve one day in the parish jail.

The Defendant filed a “Motion for Appeal” on April 24, 2007, which was

granted on the same day. On June 18, 2007, this court issued a rule to show cause

why the appeal in this case should not be dismissed as the judgment at issue is not

appealable. In response to the rule to show cause, the Defendant submitted a

supervisory writ application to this court, apparently acknowledging that the

appropriate procedural vehicle for seeking review of his misdemeanor conviction is

an application for supervisory writs.

Accordingly, the appeal in this case is hereby dismissed.

APPEAL DISMISSED.
