RICHARD C. BREAUX v. BLOCK LAW FIRM, A PROFESSIONAL LAW CORPORATION

BEFORE: THERIOT, PENZATO, AND GREENE, JJ.
WRIT DENIED.

AHP
Greene, J., dissents and would grant the writ. I would reverse the judgment signed on March 18, 2024, which denied the Motion to Recuse filed by defendant, Block Law Firm, APLC. Based on the testimony and evidence, I find the close personal relationship of Judge Rebecca N. Robichaux's son, Jeremy Robichaux, with Kendall Krielow, a witness herein, demonstrated that there exists a substantial and objective basis that would reasonably be expected to prevent Judge Robichaux from conducting any aspect of the cause in a fair and impartial manner. La. Code Civ. P. art. 151(B). Accordingly, I would grant the Motion to Recuse Judge Rebecca N. Robichaux.
