CLAIBORNE, J.

This is an appeal from a judgment in a concursus proceeding. On appeal, appellants have filed a peremptory exception raising the issue of res judicata for the first time in this matter. For the reasons that follow, we remand this matter to the trial court for a determination of the issue of res judicata, but we retain jurisdiction of the appeal of the judgment on the merits pending disposition of the issue of res judicata.
