Hilder The Honorable Timothy R. Hanson Attorneys: Gregory S. Coon, Salt Lake City, Appellant Pro Se Kent B. Linebaugh and Billie J. Siddoway, Salt Lake City, for Appellee ----- Before Judges Bench, Billings, and Thorne. PER CURIAM: Gregory S. Coon appeals from the order denying his motion to disqualify the trial judge and the subsequent order of the trial judge denying Coon's request to voluntarily recuse himself from the case. This is before the court on Fidelity Transfer Company's (Fidelity) motion for summary disposition based on the lack of a substantial question for review. Coon also filed a motion for summary reversal and sought other varied relief. Pursuant to Utah Rule of Civil Procedure 63(b), a party may move to disqualify a trial judge on a showing of bias, prejudice, or conflict of interest. See Utah R. Civ. P. 63(b). The reviewing judge determined that Coon had failed to make the required showings and denied his motion. On appeal, although Coon challenges the reviewing judge's ruling, he fails to state any legal issue for review or to provide any legal argument. Rather, he makes only unsupported and conclusory allegations of misconduct on the part of two judges and defense counsel. Even after such deficiencies were identified by Fidelity's motion, Coon did not frame a legal issue for this court to review. His response makes irrelevant allegations and accusations and seeks relief beyond the reach of this court. In sum, Coon has failed to identify a substantial issue for review warranting further consideration by this court. See Utah R. App. P. 10. Accordingly, the orders are affirmed. 1 Coon's motion for summary reversal and other relief is denied in its entirety. ______________________________ Russell W.
