Ken presided over setting the hearing as he should. In court, if you bring a motion to recuse a judge, that judge decides the issue. Ken was taken off after he set the hearing as they wanted it done sooner. It is set for this Sunday, and in a location and time that Ken can't attend. With the GSDCA we always set a hearing at the location of the accused, as does the AKC. I don't know the policy of the WDA.
