   ORDER

PER CURIAM:

Original proceeding.

In this cause an alternative writ of supervisory'control wás issued. Thereafter brief in opposition was filed and counsel were heard in argument and the matter taken under advisement.

The Court now being advised, haying considered the petition, supporting documents, briefs and arguments of counsel, is of the opinion that our alternative writ was improvidently issued.

It is therefore ordered that the alternative writ be, and it hereby is, quashed, and this proceeding is dismissed.

Dated this 5th day of February, 1976.

MR. JUSTICE HASWELL, Justice,

(dissenting) :

In my view, the order to show cause was not improvidently issued. We routinely review orders of the district courts denying summary judgment and I see no basis for refusing to do so here.

I believe Judge Martin’s order denying summary judgment is correct and should be affirmed.
