Louisiana Appeal Docketing Procedure is the process by which cases are scheduled and tracked as they move through the appellate court system. The Louisiana Supreme Court is responsible for docketing all appeals from the court of appeals, district courts, and other fields. Docketing an appeal requires the submission of an application for docketing, which includes the filing of the appellate record, the briefs of the parties, and the judgment or order of the trial court. There are two types of Louisiana Appeal Docketing Procedures: 1. Direct Appeal Docketing Procedure: This procedure is used when a case is appealed directly to the Louisiana Supreme Court. The filing party must submit an application for docketing that includes the original appellate record, briefs of the parties, and the judgment or order of the trial court. The application must be accompanied by a filing fee and a certificate of service. Once the application is accepted, the appeal is docketed, and the court will issue notice to the parties and the trial court. 2. Appellate Transfer Docketing Procedure: This procedure is used when a case is transferred from the court of appeals to the Louisiana Supreme Court. The filing party must file a notice of transfer with the court of appeals, along with a copy of the appellate record, briefs of the parties, and the judgment or order of the trial court. The notice of transfer must be accompanied by a filing fee and a certificate of service. Once the notice of transfer is accepted, the appeal is docketed, and the court will issue notice to the parties and the trial court.
