Writ application granted. See per curiam.
Because the district court contemplated a written judgment, relators notice of intent, which was filed after the oral ruling but prior to the signing of the written judgments, was premature. See Kosmitis v. Bailey, 96-1573 (La. 10/4/96), 680 So.2d 1167. However, any defect was cured when the district court signed the written judgments and set a return date. Relators application, which was already pending in the court of appeal, is therefore timely.
Accordingly, the writ is granted, and the case is remanded to the court of appeal for consideration of relators application on the merits.
