Jerry L. Jones, Neal Johnson, Monroe, for Parkerson.

James A. Norris, Jr., pro se.

Joseph Mickel, Bastrop, for Norris.

Before HALL, SEXTON and LINDSAY, JJ.

WRIT DENIED.

LSA-C.Cr.P. Art. 680, as amended by Act 195 of 1980 subsequent to Plaquemines Parish Commission Council v. Perez, 379 So.2d 1373 (La.1980); State v.
