Supreme Court of Louisiana.

Opinion:
JjPER CURIAM.
The Honorable W. Fox McKeithen, in his capacity as Secretary of State of the State of Louisiana, invokes the appellate jurisdiction of this court to consider a judgment of the district court enjoining the State from placing a proposed constitutional amendment on the ballot for September 18, 2004.
La. Const, art. V, § 5(D) provides in pertinent part that a case shall be appeal-able to the supreme court if "a law or ordinance has been declared unconstitutional, ." The judgment at issue does not declare a law or ordinance unconstitutional. Therefore, this court lacks appellate jurisdiction pursuant to La. Const, art. V, § 5(D). Appellate jurisdiction to review this judgment is vested in the court of appeal pursuant to La. Const, art. V, § 10(A).
Accordingly, it is ordered that the appeal be transferred to the Court of Appeal, Fourth Circuit to be scheduled and decided on an expedited basis.
CALOGERO, C.J., concurs and assigns reasons.
KNOLL, J., dissents and assigns reasons.
