Opinion:
In re: State of Louisiana applying for writs of certiorari (review) and a stay order.
The application is denied. It is not mandatory to order the appointment of a sanity commission upon the mere filing of a motion for same. Such an order issues upon judicial determination of reasonable grounds for same. However, since the trial judge has discharged the jury, no useful purpose can he served by granting the application at this time.
