STATE OF LOUISIANA
COURT OF APPEAL, FIRST CIRCUIT
STATE OF LOUISIANA IN THE NO. 2021 CW 0309
INTEREST OF S. D. AND H. D.
MARCH 22, 2021
In Re: Mary Savoye and Irwin Savoye, Jr., applying for
supervisory writs, 22nd Judicial District Court,
Parish of St. Tammany, No. JC - 0530- 2020.
BEFORE: THERIOT, WOLFE, AND HESTER, JJ.
WRIT DENIED; STAY DENIED. Louisiana Children' s Code
articles 697 and 707 provide that for ' Ngood cause shown, the
court ... may allow any interested person ... to intervene in
the case review and permanency review proceedings, respectively,
to facilitate the permanent plan for the child and to insure
that the best interests of the child are protected." Under
these provisions, intervention is limited to the purpose of
facilitating the child' s permanent placement and protecting the
child' s best interests. State ex rel. A. L., 2009- 1085 ( La. App.
1st Cir. 10/ 27/ 09), 29 So. 3d 618. Accordingly, we find no error
in the trial court' s ruling which deferred decision on the
Petition for Intervention until the case review and permanency
proceedings.
