It is ordered, that the Honorable Guy E.

It is further ordered, that in the event the respondent judge fails to comply with the aforesaid orders on or before October 29,1969, that a writ of certiorari issue herein directing the trial judge to transmit to the Supreme Court of Louisiana the record or a certified copy of the record in this proceeding, and that the trial judge show cause in this Court on December IS, 1969 at 11:00 a. m. why the rule nisi for a suspension, or a continuance, should not be heard on its merits.
