STATE of Louisiana v. Scott WILKINSON.
    No. 99-KK-1817.
    Supreme Court of Louisiana.
    June 22, 1999.
   IN RE: Wilkinson, Scott;—Defendants); Applying for Supervisory and/or Remedial Writs; Parish of Jefferson 24th Judicial District Court Div. “E” Number 98-653; to the Court of Appeal, Fifth Circuit, Number 99-K-674

Granted in part. The trial court’s ruling that the evidence of the prior incident is admissible is reversed. Defendant’s request for a continuance is denied.

LEMMON, J.,

dissents. This Court should almost never grant a writ peremptorily without affording respondent an opportunity to respond. This case presents no unúsual circumstances that warrant deviation from this normal procedure.

KNOLL, J., not on panel.
