    Sept. 1, 1978.
   In re: David James Melancon, applying for remedial writs. Parish of Lafayette.

Writ granted. The order of the district court denying the withdrawal of the plea of guilty is reversed, and the case is remanded.'

dissents, being of the opinion the trial judge did not abuse his discretion.

SUMMERS, J.

Although I agree this writ should be granted, I cannot agree to the ex parte order setting aside the guilty plea without a hearing in this court.
