CALOGERO, C.J. - concurs for the following reasons: I respectfully concur in the majority's denial of the writ. In my view, the exercise of this Court's supervisory jurisdiction is not warranted, as there exists an adequate remedy on appeal. At present, the matter is on appeal to the Fourth Circuit. Should the court of appeal resolve the matter favorably to the City, the fence can be dismantled. I coucur, however, to emphasize that the City presents a serious legal issue, which if not distinguishable, may be governed by this Court's decision in City of New Orleans v. Board of Comm'rs of the New Orleans Levee Dist.; 93-1690 (La. 7/5/94), 640 So.2d 237.

LEMMON, J. - not on panel.

JOHNSON, J. - would grant the stay.
