BBM. In my mind that's probably not far off from what they're actually doing with most of them once they're read. With all of the cases the COA is handling, imagine how many motions are submitted that have to be considered. The time between filing and a decision might be in large part the time it takes to first to get it in front of the motions dept. and then for them to gather or confirm what is alleged in the motion. Say it takes almost 10 court days to get the motion in front of them, then in the example of the disqualify motion a certain amount of time given for the state response, etc. That one took the longest though (26 court days) and probably was 'investigated' to the point of getting their own copy of the article and being assured that Cattani had recused himself.
For a better example of timing to even get to consideration, the original motion to unseal for the appeal was standard and a no brainer, but it took 9 court days for it to be granted. It took 13 court days to deny the reconsideration even though they already had the info. but IIRC they also asked for state response on it. Similar to the disqualify one, the remaining motions(about Juan's book and the Superior Court unsealing motions) might take a little time to request & receive what they need. They will ask for more information to determine the facts and then act. Doesn't mean it's taking them long to decide though, or that her claims have any legal merit. It just takes time, most of it clerical assembling, stamping and scheduling probably, but the special snowflake's case is just one of hundreds they're working on...
