Wolfe, J., dissents. I would reverse the district court' s

ruling that denied the motion for trial continuance filed by
defendant, Exxon Mobil Corporation. A continuance may be
granted in any case if there is good ground therefor. La.
Code Civ. P. art. 1601. Under the facts of this case, I find
the district court abused its discretion in denying the
continuance
