§4885.  Cessation of effect as to certain third persons

C.  The privilege ceases to have effect against a third person who is not a party to the action instituted pursuant to the provisions of Subsection B of this Section unless the creditor files a notice of pendency of action in the mortgage records of the parish where the property is located or lawfully seizes the property subject to the privilege within thirty days after institution of the action.

D.  The provisions of R.S. 9:4869 apply to the privileges given by this Subpart.
