Lee v. Commodore Holdings, Ltd., NO. 2000-CA-1551, COURT OF APPEAL OF LOUISIANA, FOURTH CIRCUIT, March 22, 2006, Decided
View this case - free  

Overview: The term "activity" in Local Rules of the Court of Appeal, Fourth Circuit 20A was broad enough to include an action by an appellate court in addition to actions by the parties. Thus, the court's issuance of a show cause order on its own motion was sufficient to constitute "activity" under Rule 20A such that plaintiff did not abandon his appeal.
