    The recusal application was refused because the applicant produced no evidence of actual or apparent bias; mere prior handling of multiple matters involving the applicant does not constitute a sufficient basis for replacement of the judge. The application for a restriction order failed because the defendant's litigation history did not show abuse of process likely to continue. The plaintiff's procedural summons was dismissed as unnecessary or without merit and costs were awarded to the defendant.
