ORDER The appellant/petitioner, Tammy Patterson, has appealed the trial court’s October 5, 2022, judgment denying her motion for sanctions against defendants for spoliation of evidence. The trial court’s ruling is an interlocutory ruling, which is appealable only when expressly provided by law. La. C.C.P. arts. 1841 and 2083(C). A denial of a motion for sanctions is not susceptible to being certified by a trial court as final for purposes of immediate appeal. It is within this Court’s discretion to convert the timely-filed but improper appeal to an application for supervisory writ. La. Const. art. V, § 10(A); Stelluto v. Stelluto, 05-74 (La. 6/29/05), 914 So. 2d 34. Accordingly, this appeal is hereby converted to an application for supervisory review. Upon completion of briefing as previously ordered by the Court, the Court will consider the matter under its supervisory jurisdiction. 1 June Shreveport, Louisiana, this ________ day of ________________________, 2023. ___________________ ___________________ June 1, 2023 FILED: ____________________________ ____________________________________ DEPUTY CLERK ___________________
