GUIDRY, Judge.
The plaintiff, Toxie Givens, brought this suit seeking compensation for property appropriated by the defendant, the Board of Commissioners for the Fifth Louisiana Levee District (hereafter referred to as the Levee Board). The trial court awarded plaintiff $67,800.00 as the fair market value of the property taken together with legal interest thereon. The Levee Board appeals.
The Levee Board asserts that the trial court erred (1) in overruling the defendant’s exception of prescription; and, (2) in overruling the defendant’s exception of no cause of action.
