Head Matter:
STATE of Louisiana v. State V. ROBERT “Bob” Odom.
No. 2002-KK-2932.
Supreme Court of Louisiana.
Dec. 5, 2002.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
Granted. The ruling of the district court denying the state's motion for a continuance of the trial is reversed. The interests of judicial economy require that all of the counts remaining of the original indictment returned against respondent be tried together in a single proceeding unless properly severed. The district court should not reset this case for trial until the merits of all of its rulings with respect to the remaining counts, including its partial quashing of five of the counts presently at issue in the court of appeal, have been finally resolved upon timely application for review by either the state or the defense.
