• order granting new trial entered simultaneously with order of recusal void where trial judge reserved ruling after hearing on motion for new trial
• “When a [recused] judge has heard the testimony and arguments and rendered an oral ruling in a proceeding, the judge retains the authority to perform the ministerial act of reducing that ruling to writing.”
• disqualification motion was untimely and “used to frustrate a final decision” because it “was filed eleven days after all the testimony had been taken and five days after the judge had announced his ruling”
• “[T]he law is well established that the asserted facts must be reasonably sufficient to create a well-founded fear in the mind of a party that he or she will not receive a fair trial.”
