I filed an Appeal (Writ of Mandate) requesting that the higher court direct (mandate) the lower court to obey the law, specifically, to recuse itself and stop saying that it wasn't served with the Judicial Challenge, when the record shows that it was.  The law is very clear that, when the record is clear about such a thing, the Court cannot ignore the record, and must act accordingly.
 
The Presiding Judge of the Appellate Court rejected my request to file, but he cited a statute that doesn't apply (CCP 170.3), and if he had cited the correct one (CCP 170.6), he would have to mandate the lower court to admit it was screwing around, and to allow a change of venue.
 
I have sent the correction to the P. Judge, but I doubt if he cares about what is right.  If he did,. would he have cited the wrong section, just because it supports his position?
