In Re: Tyronne Wells, applying for supervisory writs, 19th Judicial District Court, Parish of East Baton Rouge, No. 632975. BEFORE: PETTIGREW, DRAKE AND CHUTZ, JJ.
WRIT DENIED. The district court's December 11, 2014 judgment, dismissing Tyronne Wells' appeal is a final, appealable judgment. La. R.S. 15:1177(A)(10). An appeal of a final judgment can be 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 time 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. See La. Code Civ. P. art. 2121; Strickland v. Layrisson, 96-1280 (La. App. 1st Cir. 6/20/97), 696 So.2d 621, writ denied, 97-1940 (La. 11/14/97), 704 So.2d 228.
