Key legal question
Whether the Federal Supreme Court should stay the appeal pending a separate recusal request against the court clerk.
Extracted holding
No stay was warranted because the outcome of the clerk-recusal proceeding could not affect the present case.
Extracted reasoning
A stay under Art. 6 para. 1 PCF via Art. 71 LTF requires that another proceeding may influence the outcome. A clerk's recusal would not entail the judge's recusal, and the new allegation was inadmissible as a new fact under Art. 99 para. 1 LTF.
