Description
Petitioner appeals from a denial of his motion for a change of trial judge pursuant to RCW 4.12.040 and .050. The Court of Appeals affirmed the denial, concluding that to allow a change of judge under the circumstances -- where the affidavit of prejudice had been filed immediately before trial for the admitted sole purpose of postponing the trial -- would lead to an absurd result. State v. Hansen, 42 Wash. App. 755, 759-60, 714 P.2d 309 (1986); see Marine Power & Equip. Co. v. Department of Transp., 102 Wash. 2d 457, 465, 687 P.2d 202 (1984). We too affirm the denial but on different grounds.
