How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

  • noting that disqualification law “does not oust courts of their jurisdiction, but simply requires that another judge be called to preside in the same court” (inter- nal quotation marks omitted)
  • refusing to consider an error under ORAP 5.45(1) because the record was subject to competing inferences
  • relying on court’s rea- soning in cases concerning the acts of de facto judges to bol- ster its conclusion that judgment entered by judge who had been disqualified was merely voidable but not void
  • rejecting the defendant’s arguments under the Sixth Amendment where the defendant “failed to demonstrate that the delay in his death penalty proceedings has created a reasonable possibility of prejudice” under Article I, section 10
  • “[A] void judgment is subject to collateral attack, while a voidable judgment is subject only to direct attack.” (Internal quotation marks omitted; emphasis in original.)
  • doctrine of stare decisis does not require deference to prior case holdings when those cases did not involve and determine precise issue presented by case at bar
