Box 600 Harrisonburg, LA 71340 (318) 744-5232 COUNSEL FOR APPELLEE: State of Louisiana Kevin Vincent Boshea Attorney at Law 2955 Ridgelake Drive, Suite 207 Metairie, LA 70002 (504) 834-2114 COUNSEL FOR APPELLANT: Darryle K. Kitterlin Gremillion, Judge. On August 31, 2010, the Defendant, Darryle K. Kitterlin, was found guilty of the offense of domestic abuse battery, a violation of La.R.S. 14:35.3. The trial court sentenced the Defendant to six months in the Catahoula Parish jail. On November 17, 2010, Defendant filed a notice of intent to appeal from the trial court s ruling, and the trial court granted the motion on December 21, 2010. Thereafter, on February 25, 2011, this court issued a rule to show cause why the appeal should not be dismissed as the judgment at issue is not appealable. Defendant submitted a response asking this court to treat the appeal as an application for supervisory writs and rule on the merits of the application. We decline Defendant s request. The judgment at issue is not appealable. See La.Code Crim.P. arts. 779 and 912.1. Accordingly, we hereby dismiss Defendant s appeal. However, Defendant may seek supervisory writs from the trial court s ruling. Defendant is neither required to file a notice of intent to seek writs nor obtain an order from the trial court setting a return date, as is generally required by Uniform Rules Courts of Appeal, Rule 4-3. We construe the motion for appeal as timelyfiled notice of intent to seek a supervisory writ. APPEAL DISMISSED. DEFENDANT-APPELLANT IS PERMITTED TO FILE AN APPLICATION FOR SUPERVISORY WRITS WITHIN THIRTY DAYS OF THE DATE OF THIS DECISION.
