Writ application denied.
I would grant the States writ application. As I wrote in State of Louisiana in the Interest of A.P., 2020-CK-1329, the delay occasioned by the district courts recusal was not attributable to the State and was outside of the States control. Accordingly, in my view, the recusal and corresponding venue issues created in the juvenile court of Orleans Parish constitute “good cause” for suspending the time lines set forth in Ch. C. art. 877. See State in the Interest of R.M., 17-281 (La. 3/13/18), 239 So.3d 820 (“The delay occasioned by the necessity of determining R.M.s competency is not attributable to the state, and ․ is beyond the states control). I would therefore reverse the court of appeal and reinstate the juvenile courts denial of the motion to dismiss.
Hughes, J., would grant.
Crichton, J., would grant and assigns reasons.
