STATE of Louisiana v. August MARRERO, Jr.
    No. 56772.
    Supreme Court of Louisiana.
    Oct. 13, 1975.
   In re: State of Louisiana, applying for writs of Certiorari, Mandamus and Prohibition.

Writ denied. The ruling of the trial judge is correct.

SANDERS, G. J.,

concurs in the denial being of the opinion that the ultimate question is whether the trial judge erred in weighing the evidence of probable cause. In his opinion, the showing made is insufficient to warrant the exercise of this Court’s supervisory jurisdiction.

SUMMERS, J.,

dissents, believing that the trial judge has no authority to order the State to disclose the identity of confidential informers. In this respect the ruling is in error.
