Opinion
No. 91-CC-2513.
November 1, 1991. Rehearing Denied November 7, 1991.
In re: Beechler, Earl J. Jr.; — Defendant(s); applying for writ of certiorari and/or review; to the Court of Appeal, Fourth Circuit, No. 91CA-2237; Parish of Plaquemines, 25th Judicial District Court, Div. "B", No. 33-641.
Granted. Order of the Court of Appeal is reversed; order of the trial court denying continuance is reinstated. No abuse of discretion.
Because this trial was set before the conflicting trial in which Commercial Union's attorney is involved; because the attorney did not file the motion for continuance until two months after being joined; and because other attorneys in the firm have participated in the pretrial matters in this case, the trial judge did not abuse his discretion in denying the motion for continuance.
