STATE of Louisiana v. Warren E. GAMBINO, Jr.
    No. 60671.
    Supreme Court of Louisiana.
    Sept. 23, 1977.
   In re: Warren E. Gambino, Jr. applying for supervisory writ.

Writ denied. There is no such irreparable injury shown as to justify the exercise of our supervisory jurisdiction, save however, that defendant is entitled to return of all copies of the controverted publication except one copy may be returned by the state for evidentiary purpose.

DIXON, J.,
