Before LEMMON, GULOTTA and BEER, JJ.

PER CURIAM.

The issue in this appeal is the constitutionality of Act No. 686 of 1975, insofar as that act extends the term of office of the District Attorney for the Parish of Orleans from May, 1978 to December 31, 1978.

La.Const.1921, Art. 7, § 89 fixed the term of the District Attorney for the Parish of Orleans at four years, although § 58 fixed the term of all of the other district attorneys in the state at six years.1
