Ex parte: The State of Alabama, Petitioner, ex rel. Charles A. Graddick, Attorney General. In re The STATE of Alabama, Plaintiff, v. Dorothy Sims ADAMS, Defendant.
    3 Div. 371.
    Court of Criminal Appeals of Alabama.
    Feb. 25, 1981.
    Rehearing Denied March 17, 1981.
    Charles A. Graddick, Atty. Gen. and Joseph G. L. Marston, III, Asst. Atty. Gen., for petitioner.
    George W. Cameron, Montgomery, for defendant.
   PER CURIAM.

Petitioner has filed a petition for writ of mandamus directed against the Honorable Perry 0. Hooper, Judge of the Circuit Court of Montgomery County, challenging his ruling sustaining a demurrer to an indictment against Dorothy Sims Adams.

The Alabama Supreme Court stated in the case of Ex parte Harold Pugh, Ala. [Ms. February 18, 1981]:

“Mandamus will not lie to compel the trial court’s exercise of discretion in a particular manner, nor to review the lower court’s proceedings for error, nor as a substitute for appeal. State v. Cannon, 369 So.2d 32 (Ala.1978).”

PETITION DENIED.

All the Judges concur.
