Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the appeal against the refusal to recuse the district judge was admissible despite the later favorable decision on the underlying complaint.
Decisione estratta
No. The appellant lacked a current practical interest in having the challenged recusal decision set aside, because the underlying complaint had already been upheld by the same judge.
Motivazione estratta
A recusal appeal requires an actual and practical interest at the time of filing. Since annulling the challenged decision would also undo the favorable judgment later rendered by the judge, the appellant no longer had a legally protected interest in the recusal request.
