Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
This is an appeal by Dorothy Clivens Vantrass from a dismissal of her petition of intervention in the Succession of Viola Alexander Clivens, widow of George Clivens. Appellant asserted a claim on property being administered in this succession on allegations that the Succession of George Cli-vens owned an interest in part of the property and she is the acknowledged illegitimate child of George Clivens, was her father's sole heir and was entitled to be recognized as the owner of her father's interest in the property. The trial court maintained exceptions of no cause of action on the basis of LSA-C.C. Art. 919 despite the holding that this article was unconstitutional in Succession of Brown, 388 So.2d 1151 (La.1980). The issue in this case is whether Succession of Brown should be applied retrospectively so as to permit appellant to assert her claim.
This issue was decided by this court in Succession of Ross, 397 So.2d 830 (La.App.4th Cir. 1981). Accordingly, the judgment is affirmed.
AFFIRMED.
