Christian Proselytizer Seeks To Appeal Mormon Judge's Refusal To Recuse Himself

By Howard M. Friedman

ADVERTISEMENTS

Yesterday in Palmer v. City of Prescott, plaintiff filed a motion for interlocutory appeal (full text) of an Arizona federal district court judge's refusal to disqualify himself from hearing plaintiff's civil rights case. (See prior posting.) Plaintiff, an evangelical Christian who proselytizes Mormons, claimed that Judge David Campbell's Mormon religious beliefs would bias him. In the motion, plaintiff claims that: "true-believing Mormons believe I am a hireling of Lucifer, paid by the devil.... I have further prejudiced the judge against me by disclosing parts of his 'sacred' temple ceremony ... which the church considers blasphemy."
