James W. BAKER v. Danielle PERRET
Writ application granted. See per curiam.
It is well settled that an interlocutory ruling is reviewable on appeal of a final, appealable judgment in the case. Louisiana High Sch. Athletics Ass'n, Inc. v. State, 2012-1471 (La. 1/29/13), 107 So.3d 583, 603; People of the Living God v. Chantilly Corp., 251 La. 943, 207 So.2d 752, 753 (1968). Because the June 23, 2017 judgment was interlocutory, it follows that judgment was reviewable on appeal after the final judgment was rendered on September 23, 2021. Therefore, we find the court of appeal erred in failing to consider relator's assignment of error arising from the June 23, 2017 judgment.
Accordingly, the writ is granted. To avoid a piecemeal appeal, the November 4, 2021 judgment of the court of appeal is vacated in its entirety, and the case is remanded to the court of appeal to render a new opinion after considering all assignments of error raised in the appeal.
Hughes, J., recused.
