Key legal question
Whether the recusal request against members of the bench and the clerk was timely filed
Extracted holding
The recusal request was not filed at the earliest opportunity and was therefore inadmissible.
Extracted reasoning
The applicant could already have raised the alleged bias after service of the 20 February 2013 order, but waited until 22 April 2013. Later receipt of the 4 April 2013 order did not cure the delay.
