                                                                              supervisory
                 20th        Judicial           District   Court,              Parish       of      West

BEFORE:          McCLENDON,        HESTER,       AND MILLER,      JJ.

       WRIT      DENIED.          At the hearing on the motion to suppress,                          the
Officer          conceded           he      initiated           the      traffic                  at
                                                                                          stop
issue solely for              the        left- hand      lane     violation.             The   State
concedes        the     Officer' s        testimony      concerning           respondent         driving
in   the       left   lane    failed       to    establish      probable       cause     to   believe
that       a     traffic          violation        had     occurred,            and      thus,       was

insufficient to support an investigatory stop of the vehicle.
