Questão jurídica principal
Whether the recusal request against the presiding judge was admissible and well-founded.
Decisão extraída
The recusal request was inadmissible because it relied only on the fact that the judge had ruled against the appellant in an earlier proceeding.
Fundamentação extraída
A judge cannot be disqualified merely because she previously decided against the same party; such a request is abusive and must be rejected outright.
