No. 99-KH-1657 | La. | Nov 5, 1999
In re McKenzie, James; — Plaintiff; Applying for Supervisory and/or Remedial
Writ granted in part. This district court judge who denied relator’s application for post-conviction relief filed the state’s appellate brief in relator’s appeal in this Court almost twenty years ago. Accordingly, the judge should have recused himself from post-conviction relief proceedings. La.C.Cr.P. art. 671(A)(3); State ex rel. Truvia v. State, 96-1278 (La.2/6/98), 709 So. 2d 723" court="La." date_filed="1998-02-06" href="https://app.midpage.ai/document/state-ex-rel-truvia-v-state-7713815?utm_source=webapp" opinion_id="7713815">709 So.2d 723; State ex rel.

Therefore, the ruling on relator’s application for post-conviction relief is vacated and the case remanded to the district court for reassignment to another judge to rule on relator’s application.
