BRITTANI LEEANN FINCH AUGUST 23, 2019
In Re: Paula Antonia Gordon, applying for supervisory writs,
Court in for the Parish of East Baton
Family and
Rouge, No. 206930.
BEFORE: McCLENDON, WELCH, AND HOLDRIDGE, JJ.
STAY DENIED; WRIT GRANTED IN PART WITH ORDER AND DENIED IN
PART. The portion of the district court' s June 30, 2019 ruling,
finding Relator, Paula Antonia Gordon, in contempt of court and
awarding Plaintiff, Leslie Nelson Parker, court costs and
attorney fees associated with the Joint Motion for Ex Parte
Issuance of a Civil Warrant for the Return of a Child to the
Custodial Parent and his Motion and Rule to Show Cause is a
final, appealable judgment. See Capital City Press, LLC v.
Louisiana State University System Board of Supervisors, 2013-
1994 ( La. 8/ 28/ 13), 120 So. 3d 250 (" Insofar as relator is
aggrieved by the August 14, 2013 judgment imposing sanctions for
contempt, it has an adequate remedy by suspensive appeal."),
citing La. Code Civ. P. art. 1915( A)( 6). Therefore, it is
hereby ordered that this case be remanded to the district court
with instruction to grant Relator an appeal pursuant to the
August 1, 2019 pleading notifying the district court of her
intention to seek writs. See In re Howard, 541 So. 2d 195 ( La.
1989) ( per curiam). A copy of this court' s action is to be
included in the appellate record. In all other respects, this
writ application is denied.
