Key legal question
Whether the federal complaint was admissible despite the absence of a cantonal last instance decision on the recusal request.
Extracted holding
No. Under cantonal law, the competent body for a recusal request was the inspection commission of the cantonal higher court, so the challenged matter was not yet decided by the final cantonal instance.
Extracted reasoning
Because the recusal question had to be decided by the Obergericht's Inspektionskommission, the federal complaint lacked the required cantonal finality under Art. 80 BGG.
