Appellee moves to dismiss the suspensive appeal herein taken by the plaintiffs on the ground that “upon motion and not in open court, an order granting a suspensive appeal was signed,” and that no citation of appeal was prayed for and appellee was not. served with citation of appeal.
We do not know the basis for the suggestion that the motion was not made and the order of appeal not signed in open court, as the record contains a motion for appeal which to all appearances was made in open court, and the order granting the appeal thereon likewise appears to have been signed in open court. We do not believe our brother below would have entertained the motion or signed the order of appeal outside the courtroom or while the court was not in session. Whereas the appeal was granted on motion at the same time at which the judgment was rendered, no citation of appeal was necessary. Rouyer v. Horil, La.App.,
In support of their motion to dismiss, counsel for appellee cite us to the case of Bascle v. Perez,
“If, after obtaining an order of appeal on motion in open court, an appellant obtains a second order of appeal on motion, the appellee must be cited under the second order.”
The motion to dismiss is denied.
Motion denied.
