Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the recusal request against federal criminal court members was sufficiently substantiated and admissible.
Extrahierter Entscheid
The request was not specifically reasoned and was manifestly unfounded; no basis for recusal arose merely because the same members had dealt with earlier proceedings involving the same person.
Extrahierte Begründung
Prior involvement in other proceedings concerning the same party does not, by itself, violate the constitutional right to an impartial judge. Because the request lacked concrete grounds, the court could not entertain it.
