1Opinion of the Court
COVINGTON, Judge:
This matter is before the court on appeal from the judgment of the district court which sustained a peremptory exception of lack of legislative authority to sue the state and its agency. The suit, filed on August 19, 1974, declares that an accident occurred on May 6, 1974, when a truck tire, which William E. Stilley was repairing, exploded and allegedly caused the injuries for which he is seeking redress. An inmate at the state penitentiary, Stilley was working on a wheel and tire of a state-owned vehicle in the A.S. & R. Garage Building at Angola, Louisiana.
