North Dakota Supreme Court
McKenzie Electric Coop., Inc. v. El-Dweek
December 19, 20242024 ND 227
Summary
The court denied a petition for a supervisory writ seeking to undo the district judge’s recusal and return the case to that judge. It held that extraordinary supervisory intervention was unwarranted because any recusal error could be addressed on appeal, the reassignment presented no serious question of actual bias, and much of the claimed delay could not be remedied. The court also declined to require advance disqualification of categories of replacement judges.
