Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Louisiana

Re: what does sequestration recognizing lessor's privelege on moveables mean

A sequestration is when the sheriff takes possession of the lessee's property under a court order; and, usually, will turn it over to the lessor for safe keeping until the sheriff's sale. A lessor has a lien, or privilage, which is like a mortgage on the property of the lessee in or on the leased premises.
