PER CURIAM.

NO. 85-C-0055 is granted with the following order:

The instrument in question constitutes a pledge and not an assignment. Cf. Scott v. Corkern, 231 La. 368, 91 So.2d 569 (1956). The pledgee is not an indispensable party.

The judgment of the court of appeal, 465 So.2d 743 (1984), is reversed and vacated. The case is remanded to the court of appeal for consideration on the merits.
