Opinion of the Court

In re: Beechler, Earl J. Jr.; — Defendants); applying for writ of certiorari and/or review; to the Court of Appeal, Fourth Circuit, No. 91CA-2237; 589 So.2d 73 Parish of Plaquemines, 25th Judicial District Court, Div. “B”, No. 33-641.

Granted. Order of the Court of Appeal is reversed; order of the trial court denying continuance is reinstated. No abuse of discretion.

Concurring Opinion

LEMMON, J.,

concurs. Because this trial was set before the conflicting trial in which Commercial Union’s attorney is involved; because the attorney did not file the motion for continuance until two months after being joined; and because other attorneys in the firm have participated in the pretrial matters in this case, the trial judge did not abuse his discretion in denying the motion for continuance.
