248 La. 383
    STATE of Louisiana ex rel. Clyde E. RABORN v. Moran BERGERON.
    No. 47888.
    Supreme Court of Louisiana.
    Oct. 13, 1965.
   In re: Clyde E. Raborn applying for cer-tiorari, or writ of review, to the Court .of Appeal, First Circuit, Parish of West Baton Rouge. 176 So.2d 716.

Writ refused. On the facts found by the Court of Appeal, we find no error of law in the judgment.

SANDERS, J.,

is of the opinion that a writ should be granted. The habeas .corpus proceeding was a summary proceeding in the district court. LSA-C.C.P. Arts. 2592, 3781, 3782, 3784. When it was filed and heard, the tutor of the minor child was seeking to have the child released and delivered to his custody by the defendant, Moran Bergeron, who bore no legal relationship to the child and had no custody •order. The habeas corpus decision could be based only on the evidence adduced at the habeas corpus hearing. Without expressing any opinion on other legal questions or on the merits of the case, he is of the view that the district court committed legal error by deferring 'a decision of the habeas corpus proceeding- and considering in its- decision the confidential adoption report of the Department of Public Welfare filed in the Juvenile Court adoption matter while the habeas corpus was under advisement, as well as the subsequent proceedings in the adoption case.
