Head Matter:
STATE of Louisiana v. Carrol MATHERNE and Kenneth Matherne.
No. 56989.
Supreme Court of Louisiana.
Oct. 8, 1975.

Opinion:
In re: Carrol Matherne and Kenneth Matherne, applying for supervisory writs and stay order.
Writ granted. The ruling of the trial court is reversed; the motion to recuse a District Attorney, although covered by the Articles in the Code of Criminal Procedure, is an adversary proceeding — Code of Criminal Procedure, 681, and is not basically a criminal action, nor should it be governed exclusively by provisions of the Code of Criminal Procedure or Title 15 of Revised Statutes.
