APPEAL FROM THE TWENTY-SEVENTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT PARISH OF ST. LANDRY, NO. 06-7299-T HONORABLE DONALD W. HEBERT.
APPEAL DISMISSED.
Hon. Earl J. Taylor District Attorney COUNSEL FOR APPELLEE: State of Louisiana.
Mr. Eugene K. Soileau COUNSEL FOR APPELLANT: Eugene Soileau.
Mr. Patrick Craig Morrow Morrow, Morrow, Ryan Bassett COUNSEL FOR PLAINTIFF Town of Port Barre.
Court composed of ULYSSES GENE THIBODEAUX, SYLVIA R. Cooks, and J. DAVID PAINTER, Judges.
On April 23, 2007, Defendant-Appellant, Eugene K. Soileau, was found guilty of improper display of license plate. He was sentenced to pay a fine of $25.00 plus court cost or serve one day in the parish jail.
The Defendant filed a "Motion for Appeal" on April 24, 2007, which was granted on the same day. On June 18, 2007, this court issued a rule to show cause why the appeal in this case should not be dismissed as the judgment at issue is not appealable. In response to the rule to show cause, the Defendant submitted a supervisory writ application to this court, apparently acknowledging that the appropriate procedural vehicle for seeking review of his misdemeanor conviction is an application for supervisory writs.
Accordingly, the appeal in this case is hereby dismissed.
