SOUTH CENTRAL BELL TELEPHONE CO. v. Maurice WESTRIDGE et al.
    No. 59439.
    Supreme Court of Louisiana.
    March 30, 1977.
   In re: Maurice Westridge applying for certiorari, or writ of review, to the Court of Appeal, 341 So.2d 1260, Fourth Circuit, Parish of Orleans.

Granted; ruling of court of appeal reversed. C.C.P. 5125; appeal reinstated and, treating the bond as one found to be invalid for lack of a surety, although signed by appellant, the court of appeal shall allow relator-appellant four days to furnish a new bond with a surety. C.C.P. 5124.

SANDERS, C. J.,

dissents from granting of the writ. Upon the failure of the appellant to furnish security within the fixed delay, the judgment of the trial court became final. LSA-C.C.P. art. 2087, 2088.

SUMMERS, J.,

dissents from this ex parte reversal of a final judgment without a hearing thus depriving the holder of that judgment of due process of law.

MARCUS, J.,

dissents from the granting of this writ. Judgment of court of appeal is correct.
