                   19th        Judicial           District       Court,           Parish    of       East       Baton

                   Rouge,       No.    731680.

BEFORE:           WELCH,        WOLFE,       AND     STROMBERG,         JJ.

        WRIT           GRANTED.             The      trial        court'      s     September           25,      2023
judgment          declaring           William        Brumfield         to     be    the    true        and     lawful
owner       of     the        real    property           located       at    5204     Evangeline              Street,
Baton       Rouge,           Louisiana      70805 and permanently enjoining                             Torn Berry
from        taking     any            action        to      deprive,          remove,           dispossess           or

otherwise          interfere           with        the     ownership         and/ or       occupancy           rights

of    William          Brumfield        is        vacated.        The       transcript          of     the    August

15,  2023 hearing does not reflect a stipulation that Brumfield' s
petition   for    declaratory  relief would also  be   tried  at  the

preliminary    injunction   hearing.  Court records  do   not reflect

notice   that   the  declaratory judgment claim had been set for
hearing.                A     suit     for        declaratory           judgment           is     an       ordinary
proceeding.                  Singleton       v.    East      Baton     Rouge       Parish        School       Board,
2022- 0667 (           La.    App.    1st    Cir.        9/ 16/ 22),    353       So. 3d   164,      172- 74.
