COURT OF APPEAL, FIRST CIRCUIT

IN THE MATTER OF THE NO. 2022 CW 0657
SUCCESSION OF GARRETT J.
CLAYBOURN

SEPTEMBER 27, 2022

 

In Re: Maria A. Finley, applying for supervisory writs, 19th
Judicial District Court, Parish of East Baton Rouge,
No. 109268.

 

BEFORE : THERIOT, CHUTZ, AND HESTER, JJ.

WRIT DENIED.

MRT
CHH

Chutz, J., dissents and would grant the writ application.
I would find that Maria Finley, a solo practitioner, has the
right to represent herself and her law firm. Accordingly, I
would grant the writ application, reverse the trial court’s
April 27, 2022 judgment, and deny the motion to disqualify filed

by Frances Elizabeth Claybourn.
