State v. Perez

Supreme Court of Louisiana
State v. Perez, 459 So. 2d 526 (La. 1984)
1984 La. LEXIS 10538

State v. Perez

Opinion of the Court

Notation for the Record by WATSON, Justice.

A motion for my recusal was filed on June 13, 1984. Shortly thereafter I informed my colleagues that since (1) there is no legal basis for my recusal, LSA-C.Cr.P. art. 671, and (2) the state and the defendants are entitled under the Constitution to have the duly elected members of the court consider the case, I declined to recuse myself.

The other members of the court have considered the matter out of my presence subsequently and I have not participated in any further action in the case since the motion is still pending. LSA-C.Cr.P. art. 673. I did not participate in the writ grant. 458 So.2d 108 (La. 1984).
