Prior report: La.App., 560 So.2d 76.

Denied.

LEMMON, J.,

concurs. There was an improper use of summary judgment in this case. The judgment served only to limit the amount of recovery for the $10,000 rings to $500, but delayed the trial on the merits and promoted piecemeal appeals. The limitations issue would have been more appropriately handled as a partial defense at a trial on the merits.

WATSON, J., would grant the writ.
