Laura Cozza v. PNC Bank, National Association

Did judicial officer, the Honorable Robert E. Olson, legitimately exercise the judicial power of the Superior Court for Whatcom County, Washington as a judge of that court when he failed to address challenges to his partiality made pursuant to the Fourteenth Amendment and a comparable state statute? Did judicial officer, the Honorable Robert E. Olson, after refusing to consider a request for his recusal, violate the Fourteenth Amendment when he refused to accept the party’s contention that the judicial foreclosure of Cozzas’ property was within that court’s equity jurisdiction and then failed to make any findings of fact with regard to his fashioning equitable relief in favor of PNC Bank and other hypothetical plaintiffs?
