STATE of Louisiana v. Charles McMICKENS and Lynn McMickens.
    No. 59352.
    Supreme Court of Louisiana.
    March 23, 1977.
   In re: Charles McMickens and Lynn McMickens applying for writs of certiorari, prohibition and mandamus.

Granted. The trial court’s denial of the motion for oyer is overruled, insofar as it denied production for inspection or copying of books, records, exhibits seized from the defendants or their business, and the motion is granted to that extent.

SUMMERS, J.,

dissents from this ex parte extension of the rule of pretrial discovery in criminal cases without articulating the basis for the ruling.
