IN RE: Deaton Inc.; Insurance Company the State PA; — Defendant(s); Applying for Supervisory and/or Remedial Writ; to the Court of Appeal, Fourth Circuit, Number 97CW-0059; Parish of Orleans Civil District Court Div. "C" Number 90-23265, 91-09642, 91-19588, 91-19597, 91-19402
Granted. The trial court's rulings do not represent an abuse of its broad discretion in discovery matters. See Laburre v. East Jefferson General Hosp., 555 So.2d 1381 (La. 1990). Accordingly, the judgment of the court of appeal is vacated and set aside, and the judgment of the trial court reinstated. Case remanded to the trial court for further proceedings.
