STATE of Louisiana v. Emma RANSOM and Allen Richard.
    No. 58510.
    Supreme Court of Louisiana.
    Oct. 22, 1976.
   In re: State of Louisiana applying for Writ of Certiorari, Mandamus and Prohibition.

Writ Denied. No error of law.

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

SUMMERS, J.,

is of the opinion L.R. Statute 40:966(C)(1) is special legislation more recently enacted expressing the latest expression of legislative intent. Accordingly, this section should prevail over the general and more ancient provision of La.Rev. Statute 40:893 which permit suspension of sentences, etc. The writ should be granted to correct the erroneous sentence.

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