Opinion

Per Curiam.

The motion for disqualification or recusal of Supreme Court justices filed by appellants, Francis J. Hart, and other Benton County Taxpayers similiary situated, is denied. Appellants also request a hearing “[i]f the Justices choose not to recuse without a hearing.” We find appellants’ request for a hearing after denial of the motion to be inconsistent. The purpose of a hearing is to consider the merits of a motion before making a decision. Therefore, appellants’ request for a hearing “if the Justices choose not to recuse” is denied on grounds of mootness.
