Opinion of the Court

In re Langlinais, Lorna; — Defendant(s); Applying for Supervisory and/or Remedial Writs; to the Court of Appeal, Third Circuit, Number KW90-1267; Parish of Vermilion, 15th Judicial District Court, Div. “C”, Number 25931-C.

Granted. Ruling of the Court of Appeal is reversed. Judgment of the district court is reinstated.

Concurring Opinion

CALOGERO, C.J., and MARCUS, J„

concur; however, had relator applied for writs from the trial judge’s order requiring defendant to secure a written report, we would have granted relief, being of the opinion that La.Code Crim.P. art. 725 provides no authority for a court to order any more than the production of an existing report. In our opinion, relator has no duty to disclose expert reports unless and until such reports are actually submitted to her.
