Eugene HAMPTON v. STATE of Louisiana, Through the DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS.
    No. 85-CA-0690.
    Court of Appeal of Louisiana, First Circuit.
    May 30, 1985.
    
      Gregory M. Eaton, Baton Rouge, and Timothy T. Roniger, New Orleans, for plaintiff-appellee Eugene Hampton.
    Houston T. Penn, Louisiana Dept, of Justice, Asst. Atty. Gen., Baton Rouge, for defendant-appellant State of Louisiana, through the Dept, of Correction.
    Before EDWARDS, SHORTESS and SA-VOIE, JJ.
   EDWARDS, Judge.

This matter is before the court on plaintiff-appellee’s motion to dismiss the appeal on the basis of prematurity, i.e., the appeal was taken prior to a written judgment being signed.

A review of the record, however, discloses that a written judgment was signed on February 15,1985, and defendant timely filed a motion to appeal on April 15, 1985. See LSA-C.C.P. art. 2087. Consequently, the motion to dismiss is hereby denied.
