TERRELL v. TOWN OF LECOMPTE (2018)

Supreme Court of Louisiana.

Phillip TERRELL, in his Capacity as District Attorney of Rapides Parish, et al. v. TOWN OF LECOMPTE, et al.

No. 2018-CC-1087

Decided: September 28, 2018

ON SUPERVISORY WRITS TO THE NINTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT FOR THE PARISH OF RAPIDES

Writ granted. This matter came before us in the nature of a partial summary judgment, which is not appealable under La. Code Civ. Pro. art. 1915(B), as it would require designation as a final judgment pursuant to La. Code Civ. Pro. art. 1915(A) in order to be appealable. In the interest of judicial economy, we remand this case to the trial court for a determination of whether or not this partial summary judgment is a final judgment. If it is certified as a final judgment, then it can be appealed, provided appellate requirements are met. If this partial summary judgment is not designated as a final judgment, then there is an adequate remedy on appeal.

REVERSED AND REMANDED.
