State v. Matherne

Supreme Court of Louisiana
State v. Matherne, 319 So. 2d 445 (La. 1975)
1975 La. LEXIS 4626

State v. Matherne

Opinion of the Court

In re: Carrol Matherne and Kenneth Matherne, applying for supervisory writs and stay order.

Writ granted. The ruling of the trial court is reversed; the motion to recuse a District Attorney, although covered by the Articles in the Code of Criminal Procedure, is an adversary proceeding — Code of Criminal Procedure, 681, and is not basically a criminal action, nor should it be governed exclusively by provisions of the Code of Criminal Procedure or Title 15 of Revised Statutes.
