Certiorari denied · April 20, 2026

Question presented

Do the right to effective counsel as denied by the trial court's refusal to hold hearing on substitution of counsel and the right to an impartial judge as denied by the trial court’s refusal to disqualify itself, important enough rights under the collateral-order doctrine to make them immediately appealable to prevent irreparable harm?
