State ex rel. Eaton v. Butler

Opinion of the Court

In re Eaton, Winthrop Earl; — Plaintiff(s); applying for supervisory and/or remedial writs; Parish of Rapides, 4th Judicial District Court, Div. “B”, No. 216911.

Granted. Warrant for relator’s execution is vacated. A habeas corpus application was filed here and an order issued staying the execution pending further orders of this Court. An evidentiary hearing was ordered and evidence has been taken in the trial court, but the transcript of the testimony has not yet been filed in this Court. This Court has not had an opportunity to rule on the matter. The warrant for relator’s execution was therefore issued prematurely.

COLE, J., to deny.
