PER CURIAM

Writ granted. The court of appeals ruling is reversed, and the district courts ruling is reinstated. Defendants pleading captioned as a Motion to Declare La. R.S.14:2(B)(25) Unconstitutional is an action that contests the computation of his good time date (albeit one based on constitutional claims), and therefore venue is in the parish of East Baton Rouge. See R.S. 15:571.15 (Venue in any action in which an individual committed to the Department of Public Safety and Corrections contests the computation of his sentence or sentences, discharge, good time dates, or any action concerning parole shall be in the parish of East Baton Rouge.) (emphasis added).
