Picton v. Sewerage & Water Board

Opinion of the Court

In re: James R. Picton, applying for cer-tiorari, or writ of review, to the Court of Appeal, Fourth Circuit. Parish of Orleans.

Writ refused. In denying the writ, we do not necessarily approve the ruling of the Civil Service Commission, but in accordance with our usual practice will not interrupt the proceedings of the Commission at this stage.

Concurring Opinion

TATE, J.,

concurs. The ruling appears to be erroneous and to require a reversal on judicial review. Nevertheless, the exercise of our supervisory review does not ordinarily permit repeated" interlocutory review of evidentiary rulings.

Dissenting Opinion

SUMMERS, J.,

is of the opinion applicant has not exhausted his administrative remedies. Furthermore, he has an adequate remedy by appeal in the event of an adverse judgment. I would deny this application for these reasons.
