HAMID KHAZAELI vs. SPEDIA.COM INC. and SYSMASTER CORP.; GREAT AMERICAN INSURANCE COMPANY
The applicant, Hamid Khazaeli, filed petitions for disqualification and removal of the presiding judge, alleging bias due to the judge prioritizing the vexatious litigant issue. The Appeals Board reviewed the record and found no evidence of bias or prejudice to support disqualification. The Board also denied removal, finding the applicant's actions consistently delay proceedings, contradicting his stated desire for prompt resolution. Therefore, both petitions were denied, and the cases were returned to the trial level.
