STATE of Louisiana v. Sherroll L. BUSH.
    No. 58781.
    Supreme Court of Louisiana.
    Oct. 27, 1976.
   In re: Sherroll L. Bush, applying for writs of certiorari, prohibition and mandamus.

Writ granted. Finding of contempt and sentence therefor set aside. Art. 22, Code of Criminal Procedure. Any time served, if in connection with the contempt sentence, shall be credited to the 90 day sentence simultaneously imposed on 9/27/76.

SANDERS, C. J., dissents from the granting of this writ and the action taken.

SUMMERS, J.,

dissents. This ex parte order setting aside the trial judge’s finding of contempt, without a hearing, is both improper and demeaning of the authority of the trial judge. This action can only promote further contemptuous conduct in trial courts.
