“"The correct interpretation of [La.C.C.P.] Article 1911 is that an appeal granted before the signing of a final judgment is subject to dismissal until the final judgment is signed. [1] However, once the final judgment has been signed, any previously existing defect has been cured, and there is no useful purpose in dismissing the otherwise valid appeal." (Footnote omitted)”
