   In Re: State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Company, applying for Supervisory Writs, Orleans Parish, No. 81-11742.

Granted. Ruling of the trial judge reversed. Exception of improper venue filed by State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Co. is maintained dismissing plaintiff’s suit as to State Farm. See Meyers v. Smith, 419 So.2d 449.

CALOGERO and DENNIS, JJ., would deny the writ.

DIXON, Chief Judge,

dissenting.

See Surridge v. Benanti, 261 La. 282, 259 So.2d 324. CCP 42 is modified by the provisions of CCP 43; CCP 73 and 77 permit venue in this case in Orleans Parish.
