IN RE: ATAKAPA INDIAN DE CREOLE NATION ALSO KNOWN AS "TRIBE OF MOSES" EXPRESS SPENDTHRIFT TRUST
In Re: Trust Protector (Edward Moses, Jr.), applying for supervisory writs, 19th Judicial District Court, Parish of East Baton Rouge, No. 713366.
BEFORE: McDONALD, LANIER, AND WOLFE, JJ.
WRIT GRANTED. "It is well settled under our jurisprudence that a judgment which has been signed cannot be altered, amended, or revised by the judge who rendered the same, except in the manner provided by law. The trial judge cannot, on his own motion or on the motion of any party, change a judgment which has been so signed, notwithstanding it was signed in error." Bourgeois v. Kost, 2002-2785 (La. 5/20/03), 846 So.2d 692, 696. We find that the January 7, 2022 order of the district court that vacated its December 8, 2021 judgment making two other judgments executory is an absolute nullity. Id. Accordingly, we vacate the January 7, 2022 order.
