Verret v. Verrett - Louisiana Court of Appeal Opinion
Summary
The Louisiana Court of Appeal, First Circuit, issued an opinion in Verret v. Verrett, case number 2026 CW 0314. The court considered a writ application but ultimately determined it was untimely filed based on established procedural rules.
What changed
The Louisiana Court of Appeal, First Circuit, in the case of Sharon Verret v. Matt Verrett and Jennifer Bluske (Docket Number 2026 CW 0314), has issued an opinion denying a writ application. The court found the application to be untimely, citing Uniform Rules of Louisiana Courts of Appeal, Rule 4-3, which mandates that civil writ applications be filed within 30 days of notice of judgment. The court specifically noted that the filing of a motion for new trial on an interlocutory judgment does not interrupt this 30-day period.
This decision serves as a reminder to legal professionals in Louisiana regarding strict adherence to appellate procedural deadlines. Parties seeking supervisory writs must ensure their applications are filed within the prescribed timeframe following notice of judgment, as motions for reconsideration of interlocutory orders will not toll this period. Failure to comply with these rules will result in the writ application being dismissed, as demonstrated in this case.
What to do next
- Review appellate filing deadlines in Louisiana for writ applications.
- Ensure all writ applications are filed within 30 days of notice of judgment.
- Note that motions for new trial on interlocutory judgments do not interrupt the writ filing period.

VERSUS
MATT VERRETT AND JENNIFER MARCH 13, 2026
BLUSKE
In Re: Sharon Verret, applying for supervisory writs, 32nd
Judicial District Court, Parish of Terrebonne, No.
194338.
BEFORE : McCLENDON, C.J., GREENE AND STROMBERG, JJ.
WRIT NOT CONSIDERED. This writ application is untimely.
Uniform Rules of Louisiana Courts of Appeal, Rule 4-3, provides
that “[t]he return date in civil cases shall not exceed 30 days
from the date of notice of judgment, as provided in La. C.C.P.
art. 1914.” The order setting security was signed on February 22,
2024, and notice was mailed on April 10, 2024. Relator filed a
motion to vacate the February 22, 2024 order, seeking
reconsideration of the order. The motion to vacate was denied,
and relator filed a notice of intent to seek a writ application on
October 20, 2025. However, “the filing of a motion for new trial
seeking reconsideration of an interlocutory judgment cannot
interrupt the 30-day period for filing an application for
supervisory writs[.]” Carter v. Rhea, 2001-0234 (La. App. 4th Cir.
4/25/01), 785 So.2d 1022, 1025.
