    No. 67453.
    Supreme Court of Louisiana.
    May 30, 1980.
   In Re: Cecil Sullivan, applying for Cer-tiorari, or writ of review, to the Court of Appeal, First Circuit, Parish of East Baton Rouge. 19th Judicial District Court, 382 So.2d 184.

Denied.

WATSON, J., would grant the writ.

LEMMON, Judge,

dissents.

It is wrong to impose a duty on defendant to protect motorists from striking an object in the roadway which is virtually imperceptible at night and then to excuse defendant’s violation of that duty because the motorist did not see the object.
