P. art. 1631 provides the trial court with the power "to require that the proceedings shall be conducted with dignity and in an orderly and expeditious manner, and to control the proceedings at the trial, so that justice is done." Furthermore, under La.Code Civ. P. art. 191, the trial court possesses inherently all of the power necessary for the exercise of its jurisdiction even though not expressly granted by law. This power certainly extends to issuance of protective orders to assure the fair administration of justice under proper circumstances. Economy Carpets Mfrs. & Dist., Inc. v. Better Bus. Bureau of Baton Rouge, La., 319 So.2d 783 (La. 1975).”
