STATE of Louisiana v. Jo WILLIS and Kim Shoemaker.
    No. 99-KK-2224.
    Supreme Court of Louisiana.
    Aug. 3, 1999.
   In re Willis, Jo et al; Shoemaker, Kim; — Defendant(s); applying for supervisory and/or remedial writs; Parish of Jefferson, 24th Judicial District Court, Div. “K”, No. 98-7006, 98-7208; to the Court of Appeal, Fifth Circuit, No. 99-K-667.

Stay order denied. Writ denied. In case of an adverse judgment, defendants may reraise this issue on appeal.

CALOGERO, C.J.,

would grant the stay order. In some seventeen cases pending in this Court from Orleans Parish, there has been a declaration of unconstitutionality with regard to La.Rev.Stat. 14:89 A(l) and/or 14:89 A(2): 99-KA-2014, 99-KA-2015, 99-KA-2016, 99-KA-2017, 99-KA-2018, 99-KA-2019, 99-KA-2020, 99-KA-2082, 99-KA-2083, 99-KA-2088, 99-KA-2089, 99-KA-2090, 99-KA-2901, 99-KA-2092, 99-KA-2093, 99-KA-2094, and 99-KA-0606. I would await the outcome of those cases before permitting this prosecution to go forward.

JOHNSON, J., not on panel.
