STATE of Louisiana v. Richard ROBINSON.
    No. 64897.
    Supreme Court of Louisiana.
    June 25, 1979.
   In re: State of Louisiana applying for Writs of Certiorari, Mandamus and Prohibition, Family Court, Parish of Orleans, No. 183-946 C.

Writ granted. Trial judge ordered to issue arrest warrant.

DIXON, CALOGERO and DENNIS, JJ., would deny the writ.

TATE, J.,

I am essentially concurring so that mother and children in need will have expeditious relief. However, like the trial judge, I am unable to see why the prosecutor does not utilize the parent-locator service, so as to obtain the husband’s presence by summons instead of by a criminal arrest through which he may be unnecessarily jailed and perhaps lose his employment.
