Fields v. Gagné
Supreme Court of Louisiana
APPEAL from the Nineteenth Judicial District Court, parish of Terrebonne. Goode, J. -An order of recusation works such an irreparable injury as entitles a party to appeal. 5 M. O. S., p. 293 ; 6 M. O. S., p. 130, ■ Where the record shows that the judge is only professionally, and not personally interested, the matter should be tried by a lawyer of the district, and not by the judge of an ad* .joining district. Sec. 3, Act Ko. 8,1880.
1Opinion of the Court
The opinion of the Court was delivered by
Poché, J.
The District Judge having recused himself in this case, *340on his own motion, on the ground o£ personal interest, defendants have-taken a suspensive appeal from the order Qf recusation, from a decree-overruling their motion to vacate said order, and from a decree overruling their motion to refer the trial of the cause to an attorney of that Bar, instead of the judge of an adjoining district as directed in the order of recusation.
The right to appeal from such interlocutory decrees presents itself, at the threshold of the case, and must be denied.
