1Opinion of the CourtCaraway, J.
hThe defendant seeks nullity of a prior default judgment in a forfeiture action against him through a separate Petition of Annulment filed in the trial court. The trial court denied claimant’s Petition of Annulment before the State had answered. The State files in this court an exception of res judicata. Finding the nullity action sufficiently pled and a pending ordinary proceeding before the court, the trial court’s ruling is vacated.
