PER CURIAM.
Granted. The judgment of the trial court is set aside. A suit for damages for retaliatory discharge under La.R.S. 23:1361 does not fall within La.C.C.P. art. 1732's prohibition of a jury trial in "[a] . worker's compensation . proceeding".
DENNIS, J., would grant the writ.
WATSON, J., dissents from the order.
