STATE of Louisiana v. Conrad H. WYMAN.
    No. 54374.
    Supreme Court of Louisiana.
    Feb. 4, 1974.
   In re: Conrad H. Wyman applying for Writs of Certiorari, Prohibition, Mandamus and for Stay Order.

ORDER

In another case this Court has approved a stay order until February 15, 1974 to permit the United States Supreme Court, if it sees fit, to grant an additional stay order. Because of the pending action of the United States Supreme Court, the assignment of this case for trial on February 19 is cancelled and set aside.

SANDERS, C. J., concurs in view of the pendency of the case in the United States Supreme Court.

SUMMERS, J.,

is of the opinion the writ should be denied. During the life of the stay order the laws of obscenity are in full force and effect in this State.

BARHAM, J.,

concurs, being of the opinion that no prosecutions may be had under R.S. 14:106(2) and (3), notwithstanding the so called “stay order”.

DIXON, J.,

concurs. The stay in the other obscenity case was improvidently granted and should be recalled. R.S. 14:106 has been declared unconstitutional by final judgment of this Court and there must be no prosecutions under that statute.
