    Supreme Court of Louisiana.
    Aug. 4, 2000.

Granted. Relators represent that within thirty days of the trial court’s oral ruling, they advised the trial court of their intent to seek supervisory writs.

On this basis, there is no justification for penalizing relators. Barnard v. Barnard, 96-0859 (La.6/24/96), 675 So.2d 734. Accordingly, the application is remanded to the Court of Appeal for expedited consideration on the merits.
