STATE DIVISION OF ADMINISTRATION OFFICE OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DISASTER RECOVERY UNIT v. Kiesha Moreira (2022)

WRIT GRANTED FOR LIMITED PURPOSE

Relator Keisha Moreira seeks supervisory review of the trial court's judgment denying her peremptory exception of peremption. The writ application indicates that at the same hearing, the trial court also considered and granted plaintiff's motion for summary judgment which fully determined the merits of the action. The judgment for which relator seeks supervisory review is an interlocutory judgment reviewable as part of an appeal of the judgment granting plaintiff's motion for summary judgment, which judgment on plaintiff's motion for summary judgment is a final, appealable judgment pursuant to La. C.C.P. art. 1841. As such, under the particular procedural posture of this case, relator's proper remedy is an appeal, not an application for supervisory writs.

We therefore grant this writ application for the limited purpose of remanding the matter to the trial court with instructions to construe relator's notice of intent as a timely motion for appeal.

Gretna, Louisiana, this 12th day of January, 2022.
