In Re: Vernon Cox, applying for supervisory writs, 19th
Judicial District Court, Parish of East Baton Rouge,
No. 663750.
BEFORE: McDONALD, THERIOT, AND CHUTZ, JJ.
WRIT DENIED. The June 11, 2019 judgment dismissing
relator' s petition for judicial review with prejudice is a final
appealable judgment. See La. R. S. 15: 1177( A)( 10). An appeal of
a final judgment is taken by filing a motion for appeal in the
district court, along with an order for the judge' s signature
showing the return date of the appeal, within the delays set out
in La. Code Civ. P. art. 2087. Filing documents directly with
this court does not suspend the running of the appeal delays.
