BEFORE:   GUIDRY, HOLDRIDGE, AND CHUTZ, JJ.

                                 .JMG
                                 WRC

     Holdridqe,   J.,concurs. When deciding abandonment issues,
the trial court is cautioned to follow the procedures of La.
Code Civ. P. art. 561. In this case, the continuance of a
hearing by the trial court to a specific date is a step in the
prosecution or defense of the action, unlike a continuance of a
hearing or trial date without date, which is not a step in the
prosecution or defense of the action. See Hilbert v. Miley,
2012-2108 (La. App. 1st Cir. 11/14/13), 136 So.3d 847, 849-50.
