Opinion

No. 64019.

March 16, 1979.

In re: Marie Cowart Head, applying for Certiorari, or writ of review, to the Court of Appeal, First Circuit, Parish of Ascension.


Writ denied.

TATE, J., dissents for the reasons assigned.

CALOGERO, J., would grant the writ.

Humphreys v. Royal, 215 La. 567, 41 So.2d 220 (1949) should be reconsidered, if it is in conflict with these principles.
