STATE of Louisiana v. Rhodita VAPPIE, Belinda Loubier and Larry Reed.
    No. 89-KK-0820.
    Supreme Court of Louisiana.
    May 19, 1989.
   In re Vappie, Rhodita; Loubier, Belinda; Reed, Larry;—Defendants); Applying for Supervisory and/or Remedial Writs; Parish of Orleans Criminal District Court Div. “C” Number 330-118; to the Court of Appeal, Fourth Circuit, Number 88KW-0529.

Denied.

LEMMON, J.,

concurs, but notes that the trial court may permit relator to reopen the hearing on the motion to suppress evidence. Although the trial judge took the efficient approach, relator’s argument is technically correct, and any prejudice can be avoided by reopening the hearing, now that relator has sought supervisory review of the ruling.

CALOGERO, J.,

would grant and notes additionally that he believes the district court judge is yet at liberty to reopen the hearing on the motion to suppress on the terms and conditions that had been set forth by the trial court.

DENNIS, J., would grant the writ.
