A: Yes, you can file a motion for reconsideration to object to the new judge assigned to your case. The motion should be filed with the court clerk in the same county where your case is being heard and include documentation supporting your objection. Be sure to include any relevant legal arguments that may support your position as well. Once the motion is filed, the court will schedule a hearing to consider your request. It's important to note that the decision to reassign a judge is generally within the discretion of the presiding judge, so your motion for reconsideration may or may not be successful.
