STATE of Louisiana ex rel. Jimmie M. VICKERS v. 21ST JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT FOR the PARISH OF TANGIPAHOA.
No. 52579.
Supreme Court of Louisiana.
June 29, 1972.

Opinion:
BARHAM, J.,
concurs. Applicant only asks for mandamus and does not attach a copy of his writ for habeas corpus. I agree the mandamus is moot and the application before us gives us nothing to consider which could give relator further relief. However, the petition for writ of habeas corpus was filed, according to the Court, Nov. 7, 1971 — 8 months ago — and only now has it been denied. This is inexcusable delay and should be severely condemned.
