Opinion of the Court

In re Richard Curtis) applying for writ of habeas corpus. Orleans Parish. No. 248-724.

Writ denied.

SUMMERS, C. J., absent. DIXON and CALOGERO, JJ., would grant the writ. DENNIS, J., concurs in the denial solely for the purpose of allowing the petitioner to exhaust his state remedies and in recognition of the fact that a majority of this court is unwilling to modify its previous decisions as exemplified by this Court’s refusal to grant a rehearing in State v. Curtis, 363 So.2d 1375 (1978).
