August 22, 1990.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Raymond Lee Cannon, Tallulah, for plaintiffs/respondents.

Crawford & Anzelmo by Brian E. Crawford, Monroe, for J.O. "Jim" Bailey, General Contractor, Inc., & Nat. Fire and Marine Ins. Co. defendants/applicants.

Rankin, Yeldell, Herring & Katz by Richard A. Bailly, Baton Rouge, for Madison Parish Police Jury and Titan Indem. Co. defendants/respondents.

Before FRED W. JONES, Jr., SEXTON and NORRIS, JJ.

FRED W. JONES, Jr., Judge.

We granted these consolidated writs to consider whether the trial judge erred in denying motions for a civil jury trial because a defendant in the litigation is a political subdivision.

Applicants assert:

The trial court erred in granting plaintiffs' motion to strike the jury demand on February 9, 1990 and in denying defendants' second demand for a jury trial on March 2, 1990.
