DALE MILLER NO. 2023 CW 1159

VERSUS

COL. NICK SANDERS; AND STATE OF LOUISIANA THROUGH LOUISIANA DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY AND JANUARY 18, 2024 CORRECTIONS, LOUISIANA STATE PENITENTIARY

In Re: Dale Miller, applying for supervisory writs, 20th Judicial District Court, Parish of West Feliciana, No. 23832.

BEFORE: GUIDRY, C.J., CHUTZ AND LANIER, JJ.

WRIT DENIED. Once a judgment containing proper decretal language is rendered, the ruling dismissing plaintiff's action will constitute a final and appealable judgment. In order for a judgment to be a final and appealable one, it must be precise, definite, and certain. It must also contain decretal language, and it must name the party in favor of whom the ruling is ordered, the party against whom the ruling is ordered, and the relief that is expressly granted or denied without reference to other documents in the record. Advanced Leveling & Concrete Solutions v. Lathan Company, Inc., 2017-1250 ( La. App. 1st Cir. 12/20/18), 268 So.3d 1044, 1046 ( en bane). Once a judgment with appropriate decretal language is issued by the district court, it will represent a final, appealable judgment, and the plaintiff, Dale Miller, will be entitled to file a motion for an appeal therefrom in accordance with applicable law.
