Sharon Lewis v. Board of Supervisors of Louisiana State University and Agricultural and Mechanical College

Summary

The Louisiana Court of Appeal, First Circuit denied supervisory writs in a matter arising from the 19th Judicial District Court in East Baton Rouge Parish. The majority declined to disturb the district court's February 19, 2026 denial of the third motion to recuse, while the chief judge dissented and would have ordered a request to the Louisiana Supreme Court for appointment of an ad hoc judge under Louisiana Code of Civil Procedure article 154(B).

Questions Presented

1. Whether supervisory relief should issue from the district court's denial of the Third Motion to Recuse.
2. Whether the district court should have requested that the Louisiana Supreme Court appoint an ad hoc judge to hear the motion to recuse under Louisiana Code of Civil Procedure article 154(B).
