Supreme Court of Louisiana·Decided August 31, 1973·No. No. 53793·Published

Opinion

In re: Joshua Semien applying for certiorari, or writ of review, to the Court of Appeal, Third Circuit, Parish of St. Landry.

Writ denied. On the facts found by the Court of Appeal, we find no error of law in the judgment complained of.

TATE, DIXON and CALOGERO, JJ., dissent from denial. The lay evidence as to disabling pain, accepted by the trial court, adequately proves disability despite speculative medical opinion to the contrary. See Williams v. East, 261 La. 959, 261 So.2d 629 (1972).
