Riels v. Howell
Louisiana Court of Appeal
Decided March 18, 1970No. 3059PublishedCited by 4 opinions
1Per curiam
Appeals were perfected in the present and in a companion suit, Riels v. Liberty Universal Insurance Company, La.App., 233 So.2d 258. A motion to dismiss was filed in the latter appeal and was sustained by us this date.
In connection with disposition of the motion to dismiss in the companion suit, we note of our own motion the absence of a final judgment in the present appeal. When there is no signed final judgment, an appeal is premature and must be dismissed by the court on its own motion. See Gay v. Gay, La.App.3d Cir., 193 So.2d 537.
The District Court tried the consolidated suits on April…
