JOHN L. HINDS, III * FOURTH CIRCUIT

* STATE OF LOUISIANA

RLB BELSOME, J. CONCURS IN PART AND DISSENTS IN PART WITH
B REASONS.

I concur with the majority in granting rehearing. However, I depart from the

majority decree for the following reasons.

The majority opinion recognizes error and abuse of discretion in the number

of boxes checked on the form. I would go further. The trial court abused its

discretion in multiple areas as outlined in my dissent after the original hearing.

The only remedy for these errors and abuse of discretion is a reversal and remand

for a new trial.
