JASON FRANCO NO. 25-C-351 VERSUS FIFTH CIRCUIT WRIGHT & GRAY, LLC COURT OF APPEAL STATE OF LOUISIANA
August 08, 2025 Linda Tran First Deputy Clerk
IN RE WRIGHT & GRAY, LLC APPLYING FOR SUPERVISORY WRIT FROM THE TWENTY-FOURTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT, PARISH OF JEFFERSON, STATE OF LOUISIANA, DIRECTED TO THE HONORABLE DONALD A.
ROWAN, JR., DIVISION "L", NUMBER 843-585
Panel composed of Judges Jude G. Gravois, Marc E. Johnson, and Scott U. Schlegel
WRIT GRANTED FOR A LIMITED PURPOSE Relator, Wright & Gray, LLC, seeks emergency, expedited review of the 24th Judicial District Court’s July 28, 2025 ruling which declined to grant its ex- parte Motion to Dissolve Writ of Fieri Facias, filed to collect an award of attorney’s fees, but instead, set the matter for hearing on August 25, 2025.
Relator requests that this court correct the lower court’s alleged manifest error by either (1) issuing an order staying execution or levy of the writ of fieri facias, (2) directing the district court to sign the order dissolving the improvidently granted writ of fieri facias, or (3) directing the Sheriff of Jefferson Parish to stay the execution or levy of the writ of fieri facias.
25-C-351 Upon review, we grant the writ for the limited purpose of staying the execution or levy of the writ of fieri facias pending the district court’s ruling on Relator’s Motion to Dissolve Writ, as the issue is in the process of being litigated by the court.
Gretna, Louisiana, this 8th day of August, 2025.

JASON FRANCO NO. 25-C-351 VERSUS FIFTH CIRCUIT WRIGHT & GRAY, LLC COURT OF APPEAL STATE OF LOUISIANA
SCHLEGEL, J., DISSENTS WITH REASONS I do not agree that relator, Wright & Gray, LLC, is entitled to relief from this Court. If relator wanted a stay of the execution of the March 24, 2025 judgment, it should have filed a suspensive appeal.
