DocuSign Envelope ID: 8D6A5370-D60B-4114-8F84-9CBDD890153A COURT OF APPEAL, SECOND CIRCUIT STATE OF LOUISIANA 430 Fannin Street Shreveport, LA 71101 (318) 227-3700 HICKORY RIDGE HOLDINGS, LLC D/B/A HICKORY RIDGE PROPERTIES, LLC No. 55,754-CA VERSUS Appealed from Ouachita Parish THE K GROUP, INC. D/B/A/ END ZONE GRILL & BAR No. 20,180,742 Before PITMAN, STEPHENS, and HUNTER, JJ. ORDER The trial court’s judgment granting the Plaintiff’s motion for partial summary judgment is not a final judgment under La. C.C.P. art. 1915 (B)(1) because it was not certified or designated by the trial court as final judgment suitable for immediate appeal. In the absence of certification there is no final, appealable judgment, and a jurisdictional defect exists when an appeal is taken from such a judgment. In re Succession of Grimmett, 31,975, 32,217, 32,364 (La. App. 2 Cir. 3/5/99), 738 So. 2d 27; In re Interdiction of Gambino, 19-152 (La. App. 5 Cir. 12/11/19), 285 So. 3d 1208, writ granted, rev’d on other grounds, 2000312 (La. 6/3/20), 296 So. 3d 1046. Appellant is hereby ordered to show cause within 20 days of this Court’s order why this appeal should not be converted to an application for supervisory review. The jurisdictional defect may be cured by obtaining an order of certification from the trial court designating the judgment as final and providing explicit reasons why there is no just reason for delay. R.J. Messinger, Inc. v. Rosenblum, 04-1664 (La. 3/2/05), 894 So. 2d 1113. Briefing is hereby suspended pending further orders of this Court.
