Cylyce Eidson CRAIG v. Johnnie Floyd CRAIG, Jr.
    No. 63588.
    Supreme Court of Louisiana.
    Dec. 13, 1978.
   In re: Cylyce Eidson Craig applying for extraordinary writs and for rule to show cause and/or leave to file an alternative writ of habeas corpus. Parish of Calcasieu.

Writ granted in part and denied in part. The mother may file a writ of habeas corpus in Calcasieu Parish. Previous orders of this court do not prevent relator from filing petition for habeas corpus in Calcasieu Parish or other court of proper venue. See La.Code Civ.P., Arts. 3821-3831, Stelly v. Montgomery, 347 So.2d 1145 (La.1977).

SANDERS, C. J.,

agrees that habeas corpus may be filed, but only in a court of competent jurisdiction.

SUMMERS, J.,

is of the opinion that the courts of Calcasieu Parish have not been determined to be the proper venue. Relator’s action should be lodged in the court of proper jurisdiction as provided by law.
