Lead Opinion

In Re: Gerald P. Fedoroff, applying for Supervisory Writs, to Civil District Court, Parish of Orleans, Number 85-531, Fourth Circuit Court of Appeal Number 3904.

Denied.

Concurrence

DIXON, C.J.,

concurs in the denial, principally because the trial judge has already recused himself. The judge gave as his reason former employment by the defendant. This was not sufficient reason for recusal, and no unexpressed valid reason appears.

Concurrence

CALOGERO, MARCUS, BLANCHE and WATSON, JJ.,

concur. The trial judge’s prior employment with Liberty Mutual Insurance Co. is no grounds for recusal, nor an appearance of impropriety. Nonetheless in this case he has already recused himself and we would not exercise supervisory jurisdiction now because of that.
