Whether the spontaneous recusal request was still justiciable after the underlying conciliation request was withdrawn.
The recusal request had become moot because the conciliation proceedings ended with the withdrawal of the tenants' request.
Under Art. 242 CPC, when proceedings end without a decision for a reason other than a recorded settlement, acceptance, or withdrawal of action, the case is struck from the roll. Since the underlying request was withdrawn, there was no longer any live object for the recusal request.
