MITCHELL PAUL COOK v. LOUISIANA DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY AND CORRECTIONS
In Re: Mitchell Paul Cook, applying for supervisory writs, 19th Judicial District Court, Parish of East Baton Rouge, No. 741614.
BEFORE: McCLENDON, C. J., LANIER AND BALFOUR, JJ.
WRIT DENIED. The October 14, 2024 judgment dismissing relator's action 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. Strickland v. Layrisson, 96- 1280 (La. App. 1st Cir. 6/ 20/ 97), 696 So.2d 621, 624, writ denied, 97- 1940 (La. 11/ 14/ 97), 704 So.2d 228.
