BLANCHE, Justice.*

Petitioner, Willie Spain, sought a writ of habeas corpus in the 19th Judicial District Court, the purpose of which was to obtain a judgment ordering the Louisiana Parole Board to remove a detainer which it held against him as a parole violator. The trial judge granted the writ in favor of Spain and we granted the state's application for a writ of certiorari in order to review the correctness of that decision.
