BEFORE : WOLFE, HESTER, AND BALFOUR, JJ.

WRIT NOT CONSIDERED. Relator failed to comply with the Uniform Rules of Louisiana Courts of Appeal, 4-5(C) (11), in that the writ application does not include a notice of intent with a Signed return date order.

Supplementation of this writ application and/or an application for rehearing will not be considered. See Uniform Rules of Louisiana Courts of Appeal, Rules 2-18.7 & 4-9. Because the trial in this case is scheduled for June 12, 2026, in the event relator elects to file a new application with this court, the application must be filed with this court on or before June 1, 2026, and the application must comply with the requirements of Rule 4-4, concerning requests for expedited consideration. Any future filing on this issue shall include the entire contents of this application, the missing items noted above, and a copy of this ruling.
