    No. 89-CC-2322.
    Supreme Court of Louisiana.
    Nov. 17, 1989.
   In re August, Myrtle; — Plaintiff(s); Applying for Writ of Supervisory, Remedial and Review; to the Court of Appeal, Fourth Circuit, Number 89CW-1406; Parish of Orleans Civil District Court Div. “B” Number 85-8287.

Granted. The judgment of the court of appeal is set aside and the judgment of the trial court is reinstated.

LEMMON, J.,

concurs. As the court of appeal notes, defendant has the right under La.R.S. 40:1299.47(H) to call members of the medical review panel. Nevertheless, the trial judge has the discretion to limit the total number of expert witnesses who will testify on the same issue. Defendant did not show an abuse of discretion.

MARCUS, J., dissents from the order.
