Opinion of the Court

In re Brenda Gayle Fontenot Johnson Grimes, applying for Certiorari, or writ of review, to the Court of Appeal, Third Circuit, Parish of Allen, 323 So.2d 150.

Dissenting Opinion

DIXON, J.,

is of the opinion the writ should be granted. It appears the Courts below have misinterpreted “unfit” as applies to the mother. There is no right in law to custody in grandparents when it is contested by the mother.

CALOGERO, J., is of the opinion this writ should be granted.
