STATE of Louisiana ex rel. Norris L. VESSELL v. Honorable Matthew S. BRANIFF, Judge, et al.
    No. 66454.
    Supreme Court of Louisiana.
    Jan. 24, 1980.
   In re State of Louisiana through the District Attorney, Harry F. Connick, applying for rehearing on writ of certiorari granted on January 17, 1980. Orleans Parish.

Previous writ recalled. The trial judge is ordered to permit relator to listen and copy from the tapes of all previous proceedings and furnish relator with copies of transcripts of any previous proceedings which have been transcribed and to grant a reasonable continuance to accomplish same if necessary.

SUMMERS, C. J.,

would recall our previous order and dissents otherwise from the Court’s order.

DENNIS, J.,

concurs but understands that this Court’s ruling will not prevent relator from renewing his request for transcription of portions of the previous records necessary for adequate representation at trial; also he understands that the prosecution should not be permitted to use any transcript not furnished relator in advance of trial.
