BATON ROUGE - A case involving Metro Councilman Cleve Dunn Jr. and his ex-neighbor was continued without a date at the 19th Judicial District Court.

Tuesday's hearing was to determine court costs. Dunn's attorney, Edmond Jordan, was not in attendance.

In March, Dunn was ordered to pay $20,725.38 in restitution after a dispute over a property line, a fence and a cabana. Donna and Eugene Michelli sued Dunn, and say the unpermitted construction caused their home to flood in May 2021. 

A judgement in the case was signed on June 5. Dunn's attorney has submitted a prefiled motion to appeal the case, which has been ongoing for several years. 

Dunn is expected in court this Thursday for an arraignment in a separate case. Dunn was indicted earlier this year after allegedly pocketing money in a scheme involving the Capital Area Transit System, or CATS.
