Total Benefits Services, Inc. v. City of New Orleans
Total Benefits Services, Inc. v. City of New Orleans
Opinion of the Court
In re New Orleans City of; United Healthcare;—Defendant(s); Applying for Supervisory and/or Remedial Writs, Parish of Orleans, Civil District Court Div. F, Nos. 2001-10005; to the Court of Appeal, Fourth Circuit, No. 2002-C-1063.
Stay denied. Writ denied.
Concurring Opinion
concurring.
The issue in this case stems from the trial court’s denial of Total Benefits’ requests for a preliminary injunction, mandamus, and temporary restraining order. LSA-C.C.P. art. 3612 provides, in pertinent part:
B. An appeal may be taken as a matter of right from an order or judgment relating to a preliminary or final injunction, but such an order or judgment shall not be suspended during the pen-dency of an appeal unless the court in its discretion so orders.
(Emphasis added). Clearly, a suspensive appeal is not allowed under this provision unless the trial court so orders. In this case, the trial court allowed the suspensive appeal as a result of an erroneous instruction from the court of appeal. Thus, I believe that this matter should be converted to a devolutive appeal. Consequently, it would be unnecessary to post a bond.
