Head Matter:
SOUTHERN EXCAVATION, INC. v. STATE of Louisiana, By and Through the Louisiana DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION AND DEVELOPMENT, et al.
No. 80-C-2498.
Supreme Court of Louisiana.
Oct. 28, 1980.
DIXON, C. J., concurs in the denial for reasons assigned.
LEMMON, J., assigns additional concurring reasons.
DENNIS, J., would grant plaintiff’s petition for a stay order and a full appeal for reasons assigned.

Opinion:
DIXON, Chief Justice,
concurs in the denial.
It would have been vain and useless for the trial court to remand this case to the agency for the appropriate hearing. The irregularity in plaintiff's bid was fully explored in the trial of plaintiff's case in the district court, which found that plaintiff's bid was, indeed, "unbalanced" and subject to disqualification.
