After recently being released on bail, hip-hop star Meek Mill has asked the head of the First Judicial District’s criminal court to appoint a new judge to handle his case.

Mill, who was released late last month after spending roughly five months in jail for violating his parole, filed a motion May 4 asking Judge Leon Tucker, the supervising judge of Philadelphia’s criminal division, to administratively transfer or reassign Judge Genece Brinkley from his case. Brinkley, who handled Mill’s 2008 trial and subsequent probation, has denied multiple previous requests that she step down from the case.
