Head Matter:
In re Jody W. MANUEL, et al. v. STATE of Louisiana, et al.
No. 95-CD-2156.
Supreme Court of Louisiana.
Aug. 24, 1995.
Richard Phillip Ieyoub, Attorney General, E. Kay Kirkpatrick, Roy A. Mongrue, Jr., James Marshall Ross, Barbara B. Rutledge, James C. Hrdlicka, Thomas S. Halligan, Baton Rouge, for Applicant.
John L. Vidrine, Yille Platte, David Overlook Stewart, for Respondent.

Opinion:
Granted. The execution of the trial court's preliminary injunction judgment and declaration of unconstitutionality of the statute are stayed pending further orders of this Court. This Court almost invariably grants such a stay in cases in which a single district judge has declared a law or ordinance unconstitutional. St. Charles Gaming Co. Inc. v. River Boat Gaming Commission, 645 So.2d 208 (La.1994); State v. Peart, 594 So.2d 1309 (La.1992); See Bowen v. Kendrick, 483 U.S. 1304, [108 S.Ct. 1, 97 L.Ed.2d 787] (1987).
