STATE of Louisiana ex rel. Albert CLARK v. Hon. Frank MARULLO, Judge, Section “D” Criminal District Court, Parish of Orleans.
    No. 57611.
    Supreme Court of Louisiana.
    March 19, 1976.
   In re: Albert Clark applying for Writ of Mandamus and Habeas Corpus.

Writ denied. Since the trial judge has acted upon applicant’s petition for habeas in the trial court, this application to force him to do so by mandamus is moot.

DIXON, J.,

concurs in the denial; applicant must file another petition in this court to obtain a review of the trial court’s action. State ex rel. Matthews v. Henderson, La., 292 So.2d 496, cannot be used to justify transporting prisoners from parish prisons to Angola pending appeal, absent most exceptional circumstances.
