Key legal question
Whether the recusal request against Federal Judges Müller, Merkli and Zünd was admissible.
Extracted holding
The recusal request was inadmissible because it relied only on prior adverse decisions and did not raise a valid appearance of bias.
Extracted reasoning
A judge's prior participation in a decision adverse to a party, or an allegedly wrong legal view, does not by itself establish bias; the targeted judges may participate in the non-entry decision on the recusal request.
