CCP 4549
Art. 4549. Temporary and preliminary interdiction; attorney
A. Temporary Interdiction:
(1)When the court finds that immediate and irreparable injury, loss, or damage will result to the person or property of the defendant before a hearing can be held, the court may order temporary interdiction without notice and without an adversarial hearing. In that order, the court shall state why the order was granted without notice and without an adversarial hearing and shall schedule a preliminary interdiction hearing to be held not more than ten days following the signing of the ex parte judgment of temporary interdiction. On motion of the defendant or for extraordinary reasons shown at a contradictory hearing, the court may continue the hearing for one additional period not to exceed ten days.
(2)A pleading requesting ex parte temporary interdiction shall be accompanied by all of the following:
(a)An affidavit by a licensed physician or psychologist attesting to facts supporting the claim that all grounds for temporary interdiction set forth in Civil Code Article 391 exist.
(b)A verified petition or affidavit attesting to facts supporting the claim that immediate and irreparable injury, loss, or damage will result to the person or property of the defendant before he or his attorney can be heard.
(c)An affidavit by the movant or his attorney attesting to the efforts made to give notice to the defendant or the reasons supporting a claim that notice should not be required.
B. Preliminary Interdiction:
(1)The court shall not grant a judgment of preliminary interdiction prior to an adversarial hearing. The court shall conduct a preliminary interdiction hearing within twenty days of signing the order scheduling the hearing.
(2)No later than seventy-two hours prior to a preliminary interdiction hearing, all orders, pleadings, and supporting documents shall be served personally on the defendant and his attorney. To the extent possible, the movant shall give reasonable notice of the preliminary interdiction hearing to all other persons named in the petition.
C. Attorney. In an ex parte judgment of temporary interdiction and in every order scheduling a preliminary interdiction hearing, the court shall appoint an attorney to represent the defendant. If the defendant either retains his own attorney, or intelligently and voluntarily waives the assistance of an attorney, the court shall discharge the court-appointed attorney.
