STATE OF LOUISIANA COURT OF APPEAL, FIRST CIRCUIT CLAIRESSA CRUYS NO. 2026 CW 0487 VERSUS PROGRESSIVE PALOVERDE INSURANCE COMPANY, ESURANCE INSURANCE COMPANY, CARMEN NEVAREZ, HARBOR FREIGET TOOLS USA, INC., AND ABC INSURANCE CO. JUNE 1, 2026 In Re: Safety National Casualty Corporation, applying for supervisory writs, 16th Judicial District Court, Parish of St. Mary, No. 136,036.

BEFORE : THERIOT, BALFOUR, AND HAGGERTY,! JJ.

WRIT NOT CONSIDERED. An application for supervisory writs must be filed within thirty days of the ruling at issue. see Rule 4-3, Uniform Rules of Louisiana Courts of Appeal. A district court has no authority to grant a delay for filing an application for supervisory writs once the 30-day period from the ruling at issue has expired. See Watts v. Dorignac, 95-2285 (La. App. lst Cir. 4/22/96), 681 So.2d 955 (per curiam); Carter v. Rhea, 2001-0234 (La. App. 4th Cir. 4/25/01), 785 So.2d 1022, 1024. The rendition of a ruling in open court constitutes notice to all parties under La. Code Civ. art. P. 1914(A) when none of the exceptions listed in La. Code Civ. P. art. 1914(B) apply, even if the judgment is later reduced to writing. Prepotente v. Williams, 2024-0906, (La. App. Ist Cir. 2/21/25), 406 So.3d 641, 644. On December 15, 2025, the ruling was rendered in open court, and no written judgment was ordered by the trial court or requested by a party within ten days of the rendition in open court. Relator’s notice of intent and writ application were filed more than thirty days after the ruling in open court. Pursuant to La. Code Civ. P. art. 1914, Rule 4-3 of the Uniform Rules of Louisiana Courts of Appeal, and the cited jurisprudence, the writ application is untimely.

Supplementation of this writ application or an application for rehearing will not be considered. Rules 2-18.7 and 4-9, Uniform Rules of Louisiana Courts of Appeal.
