VERSUS
LBC BATON ROUGE, LLC AND                                 MARCH 2, 2023
CORY BONADONA

In Re:     LBC Baton Rouge, LLC and Cory Bonadona, applying for
           supervisory writs,    23rd  Judicial District  Court,
           Parish of Ascension, No. 130482.

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

     WRIT DENIED.   The district court's February 2, 2023 amended
judgment granting the motions for summary judgment filed by
Vecta Environmental Services, LLC and Nautilus Insurance Company
and dismissing all claims against those parties is a final,
appealable    judgment  pursuant   to  La.  Code    Ci v.  P.  art.
1915 (A) (3). The denial of a motion for summary judgment is an
interlocutory judgment and is appealable only when expressly
provided by law.      However, where there are cross-motions for
summary judgment raising the same issues, this court can review
the denial of a cross-motion for summary judgment in addressing
the appeal of the granting of the motion for summary judgment.
Cypress Heights Academy v. CHA Investors, LLC, 2021-0820       (La.
App. 1st Cir. 6/7/22), 343 So.3d 736, 741, writs denied, 2022-
01284, 2022-01247 (La. 11/8/22), 349 So. 3d 574, 576.     An appeal
of a final judgment can be taken by filing a motion for appeal
in the district court, along with an order for the judge's
signature showing the return date of the appeal, within the time
delays set out in La. Code Ci v. P. art. 2 0 8 7.  Filing documents
directly with this court does not suspend the running of appeal
delays.      See La.   Code Civ.   P.  art.  2121;   Strickland v.
Layrisson, 96-1280 (La. App. 1st Cir. 6/20/97), 696 So.2d 621,
writ denied, 97-1940 (La. 11/14/97), 704 So.2d 228.
