Lead Opinion

In re: State of La. through District Attorney of Orleans Parish applying for writ of certiorari, prohibition and mandamus.

Writ denied. We find no abuse of discretion in the rulings of the trial judge.

SANDERS, C. J., is of the opinion that a writ should be granted.



Dissenting Opinion

SUMMERS, J.,

is of the opinion the writ should be granted. The ruling of the trial judge improperly expands the scope of pre trial discovery contrary to repeated decisions of this Court. State v. Devore, 309 So.2d 325 (La.1975); State v. Kado, 300 So.2d 461 (1974); State v. Green, 275 So.2d 184 (La.1973); State v. Burkhalter, 260 La. 27, 255 So.2d 62 (1971); State v. Andrus, 250 La. 765, 199 So.2d 867 (1967).

MARCUS, J., is of the opinion that the writ should be granted.
