1. “[1] The jurisprudence is well settled that where a devolutive appeal had been taken in forma pauperis without allowing the appellee sufficient time in which to traverse the affidavits of poverty, the appellate court may, upon timely application therefor, remand the cause to give the appellee the opportunity to do so. Oldham v. Hoover, 140 So.2d 417 (La. App. 1st Cir. 1962). [2] Under the facts of this case, the mover has had insufficient opportunity to traverse in the district court, and thus is clearly entitled to an opportunity to do so. Shepard v. Shepard, 349 So.2d 1026 (La. App. 3rd Cir. 1977); Darby v. Travelers Insurance Company, 272 So.2d 798 (La. App. 3rd Cir. 1973); Ross v. Hatchette, 247 So.2d 399 (La. App. 3rd Cir. 1971).”
