Westley v. Land & Offshore, 498 So. 2d 742, 1986 La. LEXIS 7862 (La. 1986).
Opinion
Although the Court does have the statutory right to dismiss an appeal (it is a litigant’s constitutional right to appeal) the provision in Court of Appeal rules 2-12.12 declaring an appeal abandoned when the lawyer is late with the brief probably exceeds the authority of the Court.
