Narrative Opinion Summary
Victory Energy Operation, LLC's appeal has been dismissed by the court as it was taken from a non-appealable judgment. Victory had initially filed a motion for suspensive appeal following a trial court ruling that denied its exceptions related to venue and jurisdiction. However, the appeal was filed more than thirty days after the trial court's verbal ruling, which is outside the permissible timeframe for filing a supervisory writ application. Although Victory sought to convert its appeal into an application for a supervisory writ, the court clarified that the time limits for filing such a writ begin with the verbal ruling, not the subsequent written judgment. Consequently, since Victory's motion for appeal was not timely, the court could not classify it as a proper notice of intent to seek supervisory writs. Therefore, the appeal was dismissed, and the court declined to allow Victory to convert its appeal into a supervisory writ application due to its untimeliness.
