    State of Louisiana CITY OF LEESVILLE, Plaintiff-Respondent, v. Robert L. FOSTER, Defendant-Relator.
    Nos. KA03-788, KW03-807.
    Court of Appeal of Louisiana, Third Circuit.
    July 11, 2003.
    Before Judges SYLVIA R. COOKS, JIMMIE C. PETERS, GLENN B. GREMILLION.
   JjPER CURIAM.

An appeal was lodged with this court pursuant to a motion and order for appeal from a Leesville City Court judgment. Additionally, the Defendant filed a separate writ of review from this same judgment. A review of the record in this matter reveals that Defendant was found guilty of violating a city ordinance.

La.R.S. 13:1896(B) sets forth the jurisdiction for review of criminal cases from a city court. This statute provides that La. Code Crim.P. art. 912.1 applies to all criminal cases tried under a state statute in a city court. In those cases involving trials in a city court on charges other than those involving a violation of a state statute, appeal is to the district court of the parish where the city court is located. Since the conviction currently before the court involves the violation of a city ordinance, the appeal would properly be to Vernon Parish District Court.

14Accordingly, we dismiss both Defendant’s appeal and his writ application.

APPEAL DISMISSED; WRIT DISMISSED.
