STATE of Louisiana v. Rodney STEWART.
    No. 55356.
    Supreme Court of Louisiana.
    Sept. 30, 1974.
   In re: Rodney Stewart applying for writs of certiorari, prohibition, mandamus, and habeas corpus.

Writ granted. It is ordered that the trial judge hold a preliminary examination pursuant to the original order for that hearing as soon as possible.

SUMMERS, J., dissents. In my view the filing of a bill of information establishes probable cause for holding the accused, and the trial judge has discretion to grant or refuse a preliminary hearing.
