MARCUS, Justice* On March 12, 1996, David L. Carriere, then Coroner-Elect of St. Landry Parish,1 petitioned for a writ of mandamus to compel the St. Landry Parish Police Jury and the individual jurors to provide office space, equipment, and supplies for the coroner's office, to pay the coroner a salary including health insurance and retirement benefits, and to provide the coroner with an operational budget that, including the coroner's salary and salaries for ancillary personnel, amounted to $227,190. Carriere, a lawyer, was elected St. Landry Parish Coroner after no physician qualified to run for the position. The lack of

interest on the part of parish doctors was apparently due to the fact that the office has been seriously underfunded for years. The

previous coroner, Dr. Sylvan Manuel, resigned from the position
