STATE of Louisiana v. Rennie ATWELL.
    No. 57446.
    Supreme Court of Louisiana.
    Feb. 6, 1976.
   In re: Rennie Atwell, applying for supervisory and remedial writs.

Application denied; the showing made does not warrant the relief sought.

TATE, J.,

concurs for the additional reason that, under Brady v. Maryland, 373 U.S. 83, 83 S.Ct. 1194, 10 L.Ed.2d 215, the state shall furnish the accused data of the nature sought as to the prospective witness in a given prosecution, at least after the witness’s testimony. The sweeping relief demanded is not necessary to protect the rights of a given accused.
