1. “The trial court erred in finding the relator in contempt of court and imposing a ninety-day sentence of imprisonment in the parish jail for his failure to pay a money judgment to the plaintiff. The proper avenue for the execution of a money judgment is set forth in Book IV, Title II of the Louisiana Code of Civil Procedure. Additionally, the penalty of imprisonment imposed upon the relator for contempt of court arising from his failure to pay a money judgment to the plaintiff is not provided for by law. Accordingly, the relator’s writ is granted, and the trial court’s ruling issuing a warrant for the relator’s arrest and imprisonment is hereby vacated and set aside, effectively recalling, revoking, and cancelling the warrant.”
