NATIONAL COLLEGIATE STUDENT LOAN TRUST 2005-1 v. KRISTEN PLEASANT AND PATSY BROWN
Appealed from Ouachita Parish No. 2021-0418
Before STONE, MARCOTTE, and ELLENDER, JJ.
ORDER
Jurisdictional check of this appeal shows that the trial court's December 10, 2023, judgment lacks proper decretal language expressly indicating the effect of the relief awarded, fails to state the amounts awarded and to whom, and fails to specify the paying parties. Therefore, the judgment is not final for the purpose of an immediate appeal. La. C.C.P. art. 1918; Burch v. Burch, 51,780 (La.App. 2 Cir. 1/10/18), 245 So.3d 1138.
Pursuant to La. C.C.P. art. 1918 and 1951, this matter is remanded for amendment of the judgment consistent with La. C.C.P. art. 1918 and this Order. The trial court is instructed to amend the judgment and the district clerk of court is instructed to provide duplicate certified copies of the amended judgment to this Court for supplementation of the record, within 20 days of the date of this Order. Briefing is suspended pending supplementation and will be reissued upon completion of the record.
