WEIMER, J.

This matter is before us pursuant to this court's appellate jurisdiction over cases in which a law or ordinance has been declared unconstitutional by a lower court. La. Const. art. V, § 5(D). As our review of the record before us provides no basis for the district court's judgment declaring LSA-R.S. 23:1208(E) unconstitutional, we reverse that judgment and dismiss plaintiff's action without discussion of the substantive issues indicated therein.
