        Holdridge,                J.,    concurs.         Under   La.    Code    Civ.       P.    art.        561,     an

ex     parte           motion           to     dismiss       based       on      abandonment                must       be
accompanied                 by    an     affidavit         which    provides           that       no        step     has
timely       been           taken       in   the    prosecution          or    defense       of       the     action.

The    writ          application             does   not    contain      an     affidavit         in     support        of
relator'         s    motion        for      dismissal.           Therefore,          the    motion           seeking
dismissal on the basis of abandonment was properly denied.
