    No. 90-KK-0024.
    Supreme Court of Louisiana.
    Feb. 16, 1990.
   In re Taylor, Walter Miron Jr.; — Defendant; Applying for Supervisory and/or Remedial Writs; Parish of Ouachita 4th Judicial District Court Div. “B” Number 5883; to the Court of Appeal, Second Circuit, Number 21698-JW.

Prior report: La.App., 554 So.2d 232.

Denied.

DIXON, C.J.,

concurs in the denial. R.S. 46:236.6 does not give the department the power to issue summonses. The department has the power only to serve summons. Defendant cannot be (and he has not been) found guilty of contempt for failure to appear in response to the summons.
