262 La. 1163
    STATE of Louisiana ex rel. Verona TAYLOR v. STATE of Louisiana.
    No. 52717.
    Supreme Court of Louisiana.
    Sept. 27, 1972.
   In re: Verona Taylor applying for writs of habeas corpus, certiorari, mandamus and prohibition. •

Writs refused. Considering the answer of the trial judge and the documents thereto attached, the showing made does not warrant the exercise of our supervisory jurisdiction.

BARHAM, J.,

is of the opinion the writ should be granted. The petition required in R.S. 13:1574 was made on the same day the juvenile was brought to trial. This does not comply with notice required in In Re Gault, 387 U.S. 1, 87 S.Ct. 1428, 18 L.Ed.2d 527. See also State in the Interest of Harrell, 254 La. 963, 229 So.2d 63. The dissent there was the federal rule applied in that case on review by the 5th Cir. Court of Appeal in Harrell v. Mathews, 439 F.2d 721 (1971). The proceeding had and evidence adduced do not comply with due process requirements. See In the Matter of Winship, 397 U.S. 358, 90 S.Ct. 1068, 25 L.Ed.2d 368.

TATE and DIXON, JJ., are of the opinion the writ should be granted.
