In Re Lidia M. Orrego

Whether federal judges who have formally recused themselves under 28 U.S.C. § 455 may continue to exercise judicial power by issuing purported post-recusal rulings, and if such acts are void ab initio.

Whether an appellate courts refusal or failure to vacate jurisdictionally void purported post-recusal acts—through denial of mandamus and prolonged inaction on reconsideration—warrants issuance of supervisory mandamus under 28 U.S.C. § 1651(a).

Whether prolonged inaction by the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit on an unopposed Motion for Reconsideration or En Banc Review, combined with denial of ancillary relief, constitutes constructive obstruction of justice, abuse of discretion, or violation of due process, and whether supervisory mandamus is appropriate to compel immediate resolution and prevent irreparable harm.
