COURT OF APPEAL, FIRST CIRCUIT

LESLIE NELSON PARKER NO. 2019 CW 1076

VERSUS

BRITTANI LEEANN FINCH AUGUST 23, 2019

In Re: Paula Antonia Gordon, applying for supervisory writs,

Court in for the Parish of East Baton Family and

Rouge, No. 206930.

BEFORE: McCLENDON, WELCH, AND HOLDRIDGE, JJ.

STAY DENIED; WRIT GRANTED IN PART WITH ORDER AND DENIED IN PART. The portion of the district court' s June 30, 2019 ruling, finding Relator, Paula Antonia Gordon, in contempt of court and

awarding Plaintiff, Leslie Nelson Parker, court costs and

attorney fees associated with the Joint Motion for Ex Parte

Issuance of a Civil Warrant for the Return of a Child to the

Custodial Parent and his Motion and Rule to Show Cause is a

final, appealable judgment. See Capital City Press, LLC v.

Louisiana State University System Board of Supervisors, 2013- 1994 ( La. 8/ 28/ 13), 120 So. 3d 250 (" Insofar as relator is

aggrieved by the August 14, 2013 judgment imposing sanctions for contempt, it has an adequate remedy by suspensive appeal."), citing La. Code Civ. P. art. 1915( A)( 6). Therefore, it is

hereby ordered that this case be remanded to the district court

with instruction to grant Relator an appeal pursuant to the

August 1, 2019 pleading notifying the district court of her intention to seek writs. See In re Howard, 541 So. 2d 195 ( La.

1989) ( per curiam). A copy of this court' s action is to be included in the appellate record. In all other respects, this

writ application is denied.
