WRIT DENIED.

PMc GH

Welch, J., concurs in part and dissents in part. I dissent and would reverse, in part, the trial court' s November 9, 2019 judgment which granted the exception of lack of subject matter jurisdiction filed by plaintiffs -defendants - in -reconvention and third party defendants and vacated the court' s August 7, 2019 judgment granting leave of court to America Homeland, L. L. C. to file its Second Amending Supplemental and Answer, Affirmative Defense Exceptions and Reconventional Demand, only to the extent that this amended to pleading sought amend and supplement the third party demand. The April 16, 2019 judgment which is the subject of the devolutive appeal order signed on May 28, 2019 did not affect the third party demand filed by America Homeland, L. L. C., and therefore, the trial court is not divested of jurisdiction over the third party demand. See La. Code Civ. P. art. 2088( A). To the extent that this second amended pleading amended or supplemented the response to plaintiff' s claims or the reconventional demand which are the subjects of the April 16, 2019 judgment, I concur in the denial of the writ.
