STATE of Louisiana v. Phillip HOUSE.
    No. 59204.
    Supreme Court of Louisiana.
    Jan. 24, 1977.
   In re: Phillip House applying for writ of certiorari or review.

Writ denied. Defendant has an adequate appeal in the event of conviction.

DENNIS, J., is of the opinion the writ should be granted.

DIXON, J.,

dissents from the refusal; there is no remedy for the defendant unless he closes without offering any evidence, under the existing jurisprudence. If he offers any evidence, the appellate court is not restricted to a review of the State’s case, but may review the whole case to see if there is any evidence of defendant’s age.
