¶1In re: Robert H. Blanton, III applying for writs of certiorari, prohibition, mandamus and for a stay order.

¶2Application denied. The application does not warrant the exercise of our jurisdiction.

BARHAM, J.,

¶3dissents. I had hoped the “new court” would reinstate the right to a preliminary examination under C.Cr.P. art. 292. Only a holding that once an order is issued for a preliminary examination, subsequent filing of indictment cannot cancel that hearing will preserve that legal right. See dissent in State v. King, 255 La. 500, 231 So.2d 402.
