Opinion:
In re Veal, Alvin; — Defendant(s); applying for writ of certiorari and/or review, prohibition, mandamus and supervisory and/or remedial writs; Parish of Orleans, Criminal District Court, Div. "A", No. 272-486.
Granted in part; denied m part. The trial court's judgment of December 6, 1988, denying petitioner relief in case number 272-486, is amended to allow for review of future applications for post-conviction relief filed by this petitioner.

C.Cr.P. art. 929, disposition based upon an evidentiary hearing, La.C.Cr.P. art. 930, and dismissal based on repetitiveness, La.
