STATE OF LOUISIANA COURT OFAPPEAL, FIRST CIRCUIT FLORIDA PARISHES BANK NO. 2019 CW 0922 VERSUS

DANIEL M. FORREST, JR. A/ K/ A DANIEL FORREST, JR. AND REGINA B. FORREST A/ K/ A REGINA FORREST OCT 2 8 2019

In Re: Daniel M. Forrest, Jr. and Regina B. Forrest, applying for supervisory writs, 21st Judicial District Court, Parish of St. Helena, No. 23900.

BEFORE: HIGGINBOTHAM, PENZATO, AND LANIER, JJ.

WRIT NOT CONSIDERED IN PART; WRIT GRANTED IN PART WITH ORDER. The writ application is untimely as to the district court' s May 22, 2019 ruling denying the request for a preliminary injunction. An appeal may be taken as a matter of right from an order or judgment relating to a preliminary injunction. La. Code Civ. P. arts. 3612 ( B) & 2752 ( A) . Such an appeal must be taken within fifteen days from the date of the order or judgment at issue. La. Code Civ. P. art. 3612 ( C) . If a party elects to seek review by applying for supervisory writs, it must be done within the same time limits allowed for an appeal of the judgment complained of, which is fifteen days under La. Code Civ. P. art. 3612. In re Harrier Trust, 2018- 667 La. App. 3d Cir. 10/ 17/ 18), 259 So. 3d 402, 408, citing First Bank and Trust v. Duwell, 2011- 0104 ( La. App. 4th Cir. 5/ 18/ 11), 70 So. 3d 15, 17 n. 5; see also Johnson v. Montero, 2017- 0274 ( La. App. 4th Cir. 3/ 29/ 17), 215 So. 3d 479, 481. Though the Relators, Daniel M. Forrest, Jr. and Regina B. Forrest, chose to seek supervisory review rather than an appeal, the notice of intent was not submitted within fifteen days per La. Code Civ. P. art. 3612, and therefore is untimely.

However, the district court' s June 13, 2019 judgment granting the Motion to Forfeit Bond is vacated. A motion should be tried contradictorily with the adverse if the party order applied for is one to which the mover is not entitled clearly and for which proof is required. La. Code Civ. P. art. 963.

Therefore, this matter is remanded to the district court with instruction to conduct contradictory hearing on the Motion to a

Forfeit Bond filed by The First, A National Banking Association, successor by merger to Florida Parishes Bank.
