STATE of Louisiana v. Emmit M. HUGHES and James F. Willeford.
    No. 61105.
    Supreme Court of Louisiana.
    Nov. 29, 1977.
   In re: Emmit M. Hughes and James F. Willeford, applying for supervisory writs.

Writ granted. Preliminary examination ordered prior to trial. Art. 1, Section 14, La. Constitution (1974).

SANDERS, C. J., dissents from the granting of the writ.

SUMMERS, J.,

dissents. The order of the majority compels a vain and useless proceeding at a time when it will serve no purpose.

DIXON, J.,

dissents. A preliminary examination at this stage will serve no purpose since the ease is fixed for trial tomorrow.
