STATE of Louisiana v. Robert H. BLANTON, III.
    No. 53281.
    Supreme Court of Louisiana.
    March 15, 1973.
   In re: Robert H. Blanton, III applying for writs of certiorari, prohibition, mandamus and for a stay order.

Application denied. The application does not warrant the exercise of our jurisdiction.

BARHAM, J.,

dissents. I had hoped the “new court” would reinstate the right to a preliminary examination under C.Cr.P. art. 292. Only a holding that once an order is issued for a preliminary examination, subsequent filing of indictment cannot cancel that hearing will preserve that legal right. See dissent in State v. King, 255 La. 500, 231 So.2d 402.
