The document is an opposition to an application for writs of certiorari, review, and mandamus concerning a custody dispute over minor children in Louisiana. It outlines the jurisdictional basis for the court's authority, details the procedural history of the custody case, and argues that the trial court correctly deferred jurisdiction to another state where the children had significant connections. The conclusion asserts that the writ should be denied and the trial court's judgment upheld.
