The last few months have kept our office busy outside the courtroom between youth baseball, youth softball, and community events. ⚾️🥎🦞

We were proud to sponsor the Liti-Gators baseball team and two Liti-Gators softball teams this season and enjoyed being part of great community events like the Bowling Green Crawfish Cookoff along the way.

We always appreciate the opportunity to support local programs, youth sports, and the people who make our community such a great place to live and work. Thank you to everyone who continues to support our office.

Proud of the Liti-Gators on an incredible season! ⚾️🐊

These boys wrapped up the year with a 2nd place finish in the tournament, and we couldn’t be more proud to sponsor such a great group of young athletes. Watching their confidence, teamwork, and love for the game grow all season has been special.

Thank you to the parents, coaches, and everyone involved with Franklinton Youth Baseball for making this season such a great experience for these kids.

Those who have practiced before Judge Gardner know the respect he showed to everyone in his courtroom. He made a lasting impact on our community and the countless families who came through Division G. His commitment to fairness, dignity, and the rule of law has not gone unnoticed.

On behalf of our office, we thank Judge Gardner for his years of dedicated service and wish him all the best in his well-earned retirement.

For 39 years, I have been in court nearly every day, hoping that my work made this community safer and that we lifted up our most vulnerable children and families. Thirteen of those years were spent in Division G, a small corner of the Justice Center that became a world of its own. Darlene, Sue, Macey, Chelsea, Lisa, Stacey, Cheryl and I worked shoulder to shoulder, steady in purpose, humbled by the lives entrusted to us.

I am deeply proud of what we built together.

Every day inside the Justice Center, I see the quiet, unseen labor that keeps our system moving: maintenance staff arriving before dawn, attorneys preparing in the hallways, deputies readying to take the stand, and the citizens who walk through our doors often on some of the hardest days of their lives. The decisions I make, the sentences I must pass, the lives that intersect with mine, these moments weigh heavily on my heart. To show up fully present, to remain genuine and authentic, to offer dignity and fairness even when the work is lonely or painful, that has been my calling. It has also been one of the deepest emotional burdens I have ever carried. The last three months, especially, have forced me to reflect on the toll this work has taken.

It is difficult to hear the terrible things people do to one another without being changed by it. You may have noticed that joy and laughter have been harder for me to find.

I will retire from the bench at the end of 2026. In the upcoming year I have an opportunity to help improve the lives of families and children statewide, while also taking time to visit my own children, return to playing music, take Reina on a trip beyond Pensacola, and enjoy whatever healthy years I am fortunate enough to have. We are foster parents, which has become more important to us than we would have thought.

So many people have supported me and lifted me up, and I hope you will be happy for me and Reina. These last three months have been both exhilarating and exhausting, and they have clarified what matters most. I am forever grateful for the support I have received over three terms as Judge of Division G. You have trusted me with your safety, your families, your futures.

For those who contributed to our campaign, the committee will issue refunds in full. Should you wish to decline all or part, any contributions left will be used solely to retire existing campaign debt.

Tomorrow morning, as always, I will take the bench promptly, doing the work this district elected me to do.

SCAM ALERT:🚨 If you got this text over the last week or so… no, you’re not suddenly being hunted down by the “Orleans Parish Traffic Division Strike Force.”
Yes, it’s a scam.
No, I cannot “fix it” because there is nothing to fix.
But I do appreciate y’all keeping me in business by forwarding me everything questionable that you receive. 😂

Big congratulations to Raiden on being named 6U Player of the Week—great defense, strong hitting, and even better effort.

Anderson Law may not allow double jeopardy, but their Raiden Holobaugh says double plays are still on the docket. Great defense and strong hitting performances earned Holobaugh week 2&3 player of the week for 6U.

Opening Day at Franklinton Youth Baseball was one for the books! ⚾️

We’re proud to sponsor the 6u Liti-Gators this season and support FYB. There’s nothing better than seeing these young athletes out on the field, learning the game, building friendships, and having fun.

We’re looking forward to a great season—Go Liti-Gators! 🐊

Big thanks to Little Feet Boutique for the great-looking jerseys and hats!

Let’s Talk About Vehicle Searches 🚗🔍

If an officer asks,
👉 “Do you mind if I search your vehicle?”

They are not asking out of curiosity.
They are not doing inventory.
They are asking because they need permission without a warrant.

You are allowed to politely say:
🗣️ “I do not consent to any searches.”

That sentence is not rude.
It is not illegal.
It does not start an argument.

There is no need to turn a simple traffic stop into a roadside scavenger hunt

In many traffic stops, officers do not have a warrant and do not automatically have the legal authority to search a vehicle. That is why they may ask for consent. Be calm. Be respectful. Say less. Your glove box does not need an audience.
