Louisiana Revised Statutes Tit. 13, § 4284. Return of writs of fieri facias

All writs of fieri facias issued by the clerks of the several courts shall be made returnable by them as provided by law. Each sheriff shall return all writs directed to him to the clerk's office from which they issued, as provided by law, and shall pay over any moneys received thereon to the party entitled thereto, or to his attorney at law. For the breach of any duty imposed on him in this section, the sheriff is liable to the party entitled to the benefit of the writ, for the full amount specified therein, which may be recovered, on contradictory motion, before the district court of which the sheriff is the executive officer.
