Question presented

#1 The Georgia Court of Appeals violated codified laws, court rules, case precedent and ethical cannons to bypass the petitioner’s recusal motion. The court denied the merits of a discretionary review, a motion for reconsideration and a motion to cure filing defects without ruling on the merits of the petitioner’s recusal motion. Due to a lack of an adequate and timely enforcement mechanism, the petitioner asked the Georgia Supreme Court to create a mechanism to enforce ethical compliance and review the court of appeals for an abuse of discretion. The Georgia Supreme Court denied the request. Is a lack of an adequate recusal enforcement mechanism, as evidenced by the Georgia Court of Appeal’s ignoring the recusal motion and by the Georgia Supreme Court denial of relief sought, a violation of the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment?
