““[1] The single issue presented here is whether one can maintain a cause of action for libel and slander arising out of allegations or statements made in judicial proceedings when those proceedings have not reached a final disposition. This, in our opinion, requires a negative answer. The exception of no cause of action provided for in La.C.C.P. Art. 927(4) puts at issue whether any remedy is afforded by law to the plaintiff under the allegations contained in the petition. Bielkiewicz v. Rudisill, 201 So.2d 136 (La.App., 3rd Cir., 1967). Our jurisprudence has consistently recognized, with the exception of one case decided at the intermediate appellate level that a cause of action based on libel and slander for statements made in legal proceedings not yet final, will not be maintained whether it be asserted by reconventional demand, W. B. Thompson & Co. v. Gosserand, 128 La. 1029 , 55 So. 663 (1911); Howard v. Coyle, 163 La. 257 , 111 So. 697 (1927); Robinson Mercantile Co. v.
