In Re:     Stutzman Sawing, LLC, applying   for supervisory writs,
           19th Judicial District Court,     Parish of East Baton
           Rouge, No. 707022.

BEFORE:    GUIDRY, C.J., WOLFE AND MILLER, JJ.

          WRIT GRANTED WITH ORDER. We vacate the trial court's
August 24, 2022 judgment, which denied the Motion for Summary
Judgment filed by the third party defendant, Stutzman Sawing,
LLC.   The trial court failed to "state on the record or in
writing the reasons for granting or denying the motion" as
required by La. Code Civ. P. art. 966(C) (4).  See James as Co-
Trustees of Addison Family Trust v. Strobel, 2019-0787 (La. App.
1st Cir. 6/24/20), 2020 WL 3446635 (unpublished)     (recognizing
La. Code Civ. P. art. 966(C) (4) as "mandatory").     Thus, this
matter is remanded to the trial court for compliance with La.
Code Civ. P. art. 966 (C) (4).
