¶1concurs in part with reasons.
¶2I agree with the majority’s conclusion that there was no palpable error or abuse of discretion in either the trial court’s discovery rulings or in this court’s dispositions of the prior writ applications. I further agree that because of the unresolved discovery issues, the trial court’s consideration of Hibernia’s motion for summary judgment was premature. Therefore, I concur in the reversal of the judgment granting that motion.
