    No. 91-OC-0935.
    Supreme Court of Louisiana.
    April 26, 1991.
   In re Clivins, Ruth; Robinson, James;— Plaintiff(s); Applying for Supervisory and/or Remedial Writs; to the Court of Appeal, Fourth Circuit, Number 90CA-0552; Parish of Orleans Civil District Court Div. “I” Number 83-5117.

Stay order denied. Writ denied.

LEMMON, J.,

concurs in the denial, because the defendant is entitled to cancellation of the judicial mortgage. However, the district court was the proper forum to bring the motion to cancel the judicial mortgage. When the appeal was perfected, the district court lost jurisdiction only as to matters “reviewable under the appeal”. Cancellation of a judicial mortgage has nothing to do with the merits of the judgment that has been appealed.
