Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the recusal request against the presiding federal judge was admissible.
Extrahierter Entscheid
The request was abusive and inadmissible because it relied only on the fact that the judge had previously sat in related matters, which is not a valid ground for recusal.
Extrahierte Begründung
The filing appeared intended solely to obstruct justice; prior participation in earlier cases involving the same litigants does not establish bias.
