\begin{abstract}
Recently several laboratories have reported experimental 
observations of an exotic $S=+1$ baryon (named the 
$\Theta+$) in exclusive photo-production from proton, 
deuteron and heavy targets. While it was suggested that its 
quark content is $uudd\bar s$ and is a member of the so 
called penta-quark family, most of its quantum numbers 
(parity, spin and isospin) have not been determined yet. We 
discuss here the possibility to study the spin and parity of 
the $\Theta^+$ via $\vec{n}(\vec{\gamma}, K^-~K^+n)$ 
reaction where a circularly polarized photon beam will be 
used and the polarized neutron is provided by a polarized 
$\vec{\mathrm{He}}$ target. A Letter-of-Intent was submitted 
to JLab PAC-25 to perform this measurement in Hall~A and a 
proposal is being planned. The theoretical basis will be 
discussed briefly and the experimental setup will be 
presented. This work is supported by the U.S. Department of 
Energy, Office of Nuclear Physics, under contract 
No.~W-31-109-ENG-38.
