STATE of Louisiana ex rel. Jackie F. CRAVEN v. C. Murray HENDERSON, Warden, Louisiana State Penitentiary.
No. 52638.
Supreme Court of Louisiana.
July 19, 1972.

Opinion:
In re: Jackie F. Craven applying for writ of mandamus and habeas corpus.
Writs refused. In view of the fact that the trial judge has ruled, the matter is now moot.
BARHAM, J., concurs that the matter is moot — however the five month delay in ruling on an evidentiary hearing on habeas corpus writ application is unexplained and unexplainable.
