In Re: Block Law Firm, APLC and Jerald P. Block, applying for

BEFORE : CHUTZ, GREENE, AND STROMBERG, JJ.
WRIT DENIED.

TPS
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 defendants, Block Law Firm, APLC and Jerald P.
Block. Based on the testimony and evidence, I find the close
personal relationship of Judge Rebecca N. Robichaux’s son, Jeremy
Robichaux, with Kendall Krielow, the plaintiff in this matter,
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.
