Recusal request
Judge Jay Zainey has been requested to recuse himself from a case involving the ousting of Father John Raphael as president of the St. Augustine High School. Father Raphael was forced out of his position by the Josephite order, the order that controls St. Augustine. Father Raphael and supporters, including parents and activists, say that Judge Zainey should recuse himself from the case because of his "personal relationship" with the Archdiocese of New Orleans. The group said that he has already shown a bias by granting a temporary restraining order to the Josephites.[2]
