rit application denied in part and granted in part.
Justice Hughes previously self -recused himself in this matter ; therefore, the
motion to recuse Justice Hughes filed by Defendants, Exxon Mobil Corporation and
Exxon Mobil Pipeline Company, is denied as moot.
This Court’s order of April 29, 2024 appointing Judge William Dupont is
vacated and set aside. It is hereby ordered that Judge Durwood Conque shall be
appointed as judge ad hoc to hear Defendants’ motion to recuse Judge Donald
Johnson.
The stay issued by this Court on May 28, 2024 is recalled, and the matter is
remanded to the trial court for further proceedings.
