Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Charles R. Chestnutt, III, New Orleans, Marvin L. Jeffers and Joshua A. Tilton, Baton Rouge, for plaintiff-appellant.

Robert D. Hoover, Baton Rouge, for defendant-appellee.

Before SARTAIN, COVINGTON and LOTTINGER, JJ.


SARTAIN, Judge.

This matter is before us on Matlack, Inc.'s (appellee) motion to dismiss Louis Blacher's (appellant) appeal on the ground that the same was not filed within the sixty day period provided for in C.C.P. Art. 2087, as amended by Act 201 of 1976. We deny the motion.

At the outset it should be noted that Act 201 of 1976 reduced the delay for perfecting a devolutive appeal from ninety to sixty days. Act 201 became effective on October 1, 1976.
