Text: This Statement of Issues appears in Kittles' brief: 1. Was the decision of district court judge Edw. Grant dismissing the appeal from county court in Rocky Mtn. Recovery, Inc. v. Rene Kittles for being untimely a plain error? 2. Was district court judge Edw. Grant divested of jurisdiction to render any decision in the appeal taken from county court in Rocky Mtn. Recovery, Inc. v. Rene Kittles after timely filing of a motion for peremptory disqualification, and was it a plain error not to remove himself? 3. Has the conduct of district court judge Edw. Grant toward Rene Kittles, regardless of the subject matter involved in cases before him, demonstrated a pattern of negative prejudice which sways his judgment and renders him unable to exercise his functions impartially in cases involving her and has that pattern of conduct risen to the level of disqualifying him from cases involving her and divesting him of jurisdiction in such cases, or, has this conduct demonstrated a lack of competence in the law? RMR offers this Statement of Issue [sic] Presented for Review: A. Did the District Court (Appellate Court) err in ordering the dismissal of Petitioner's Notice of Appeal in its order of July 6, 1999 when it applied W.S. § 5-5-142 rather than Rule 2.01, W.R.A.P.? B. Was Appellant-Petitioner's Request for Exclusion of Trial Judge timely made? Was it reversible error for Judge Grant, District Court Judge sitting as Appellate Court, not to recuse himself from reviewing Petitioner's appeal upon her filing of the request on June 20, 1999? C. Does the Petitioner have any grounds for appeal of the Trial court's grant of summary judgment in Respondent's favor on May 20, 1999? Has Appellant-Petitioner demonstrated reversible error in the proceedings?
