La. Code Civ. Proc. art. 2252 : CODE OF CIVIL PROCEDURE — EXECUTION OF JUDGMENTS — GENERAL DISPOSITIONS — Delay before proceeding with execution

A judgment creditor may proceed with the execution of a judgment only after the delay for a suspensive appeal therefrom has elapsed; however, recordation of a judgment in the mortgage records prior to the lapsing of the delay for a suspensive appeal does not begin proceedings for the execution of the judgment.
