Opinion

STATE OF LOUISIANA COURT OF APPEAL, FIRST CIRCUIT ERICA SULLIVAN NO. 2025 CW 0606 VERSUS SHERIFF DANIEL EDWARDS, ATLANTIC SPECIALTY INSURANCE COMPANY, CORRECTHEALTH TANGIPAHOA, LLC JULY 03, 2025 In Re: Erica Sullivan, applying for supervisory writs, 21st Judicial District Court, Parish of Tangipahoa, No. 2021- 2697.

BEFORE: PENZATO, HESTER, GREENE, STROMBERG, AND BALFOUR, JJ.

STAY DENIED; WRIT GRANTED WITH ORDER. The trial court’s March 27, 2025 order, which denied the Motion to Proceed in Forma Pauperis filed by plaintiff, Erica Sullivan, is vacated. It appears the trial court previously signed an order that same day, on March 27, 2025, which granted the Motion to Proceed in Forma Pauperis.

While such status can be reconsidered or revoked by the trial court, it must be done in a contradictory hearing. See La. Code Civ. P. art. 5183(B) (3). This matter is remanded to the trial court for consideration of Erica Sullivan’s Motion to Proceed in Forma Pauperis in a contradictory hearing.

Greene and Balfour, JJ., concur in part and dissent in part.

We concur in the denial of the stay. However, we dissent and would deny the writ on the showing made.
