STATE of Louisiana v. Kenneth LaSALLE.
    No. 83-KK-1727.
    Supreme Court of Louisiana.
    Oct. 17, 1983.
   In Re: Kenneth LaSalle, applying for Writ of Certiorari and Prohibition, to the Criminal District Court, No. 295-446; Parish of Orleans, Fourth Circuit Court of Appeal, No. KA-1072.

Granted. The judgment of the Court of Appeal is reversed. The case is remanded to the Court of Appeal to hear argument and render an opinion.

LEMMON, Justice,

concurs.

Rules 4-6 and 4r-7 of the Uniform Rules of the Courts of Appeal require the court, when granting a writ, to fix a date for submission of the case, presumably to afford both sides an opportunity for expansive briefing of a case that the court is seriously considering reversing. There must be a period between the granting of the writ and the submission of the case, unless exigent circumstances require immediate disposition. No exigent circumstances appear in this case, and the court rules should have been followed.
