Writ application granted with order - The court of appeal acted improvidently in

judgment of the court of appeal is vacated and set aside. The judgment of the
district court is reinstated, reserving the right of defendant to seek review of the
ruling on appeal.
Crichton, J., would deny.
Crain, J., would deny. Plaintiff has an adequate remedy by proffering the contested
evidence into the record for review on appeal.
