COURT OF APPEAL, FIRST CIRCUIT

IN RE: MEDICAL REVIEW PANEL NO. 2019 CW 1290 GEORGE F. ABRAMS

DECEMBER 02, 2019

In Re: Thomas Abrams, applying for supervisory writs, 19th Judicial District Court, Parish of East Baton Rouge, No. 665084.

BEFORE: HIGGINBOTHAM, PENZATO, AND LANIER, JJ.

WRIT DENIED. The September 26, 2019 judgment finding relator, Thomas Abrams, in contempt and dismissing with

prejudice his claim as to certain defendants appears to be a

final appealable judgment. See La. Code Civ. P. art. 1915 ( A) ( 1) and ( 6). An appeal of a final judgment is by filing a taken

motion for appeal in the district court, along with an order for the judge' s signature showing the return date of the appeal,

within the delays set out in La. Code Civ. P. art. 2087. The

deadline for filing such a motion with the district court herein appears to be December 9, 2019. Filing documents directly with this court does not suspend the running of the appeal delays. Strickland v. Layr±sson, 96- 1280 ( La. App. 1st Cir. 6/ 20/ 97), 696 So. 2d 621., 624, writ denied, 97- 1940 ( La. 11/ 14/ 97), 704 So. 2d 228.
