In re Floyd F. GREENE.
    No. 54684.
    Supreme Court of Louisiana.
    April 18, 1974.
   In re: Floyd F. Greene applying for writs of Certiorari, Prohibition and Mandamus, Criminal District Court, Parish of Orleans.

Writ denied. There is no error in the ruling of the trial court.

SUMMERS, J.,

is of the opinion an important constitutional issue is involved on which this Court has not previously adjudicated. In my view a full hearing in. this Court is warranted. The writ should be granted.

DIXON, J., is of the opinion that this writ should be granted.

CALOGERO, J.,

concurs. While I would prefer to see this Court more fully consider the Constitutional issue here presented after granting the writ, I am satisfied that the result would be no different. Accordingly I join with the majority in denying this writ application. Art. 439.1 La. C.Cr.Pr. allowing a grant of immunity except for a prosecution for perjury, in my opinion does not violate either the La. Constitution, (Art. 1, Sec. II) or the U. S. Const. 5th Amendment.

MARCUS, J., recused himself.
