STATE of Louisiana ex rel. Horace JOHNSON v. C. Murray HENDERSON, Warden, Louisiana State Penitentiary.
    No. 53809.
    Supreme Court of Louisiana.
    Sept. 7, 1973.
   In re: Horace Johnson applying for writs of certiorari and habeas corpus.

Writ refused. The application is premature. In the event, the Correctional authorities fail to properly execute the sentences, applicant has an adequate remedy at that time.

DIXON, J.,

concurs in the denial. Ha-beas corpus is not the proper remedy at this time. The proper determination of applicant’s correct sentence can be made in other proceedings, such as mandamus or declaratory action.
