NGOC TROUNG v. MARCUS DEWAYNE SANDERS AND OLD AMERICAN INDEMNITY COMPANY
Appealed from Caddo Parish No. 642,960
Before STONE, MARCOTTE, and ELLENDER, JJ.
ORDER
Jurisdictional check of this appeal shows that the trial court's February 2, 2024, judgment does not contain proper decretal language expressly indicating the effect of the relief awarded. Accordingly, the ruling is not a "final judgment" for purposes 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.
In accordance with La. C.C.P. art. 1918, this matter is remanded with instructions for the trial court to amend the judgment in accordance with La. C.C.P. art. 1951 within 20 days of the date of this order. Duplicate certified copies of such a judgment should be transmitted to this Court for supplementation of the record within 20 days of this order. Briefing is suspended pending supplementation and will be reissued upon completion of the record.
