Two things: 1.) The case cannot be appealed. Only a prosecuting or defense attorney can request an appeal, not a judge. 2.) The judge can request an en banc ruling - meaning more appeals judges can be brought to rule on it.

Any more than that, being he has been ORDERED by a Superior Court means he will face contempt charges - which will automatically remove him from the bench permanently. Is he willing to risk prison and his entire career to defy a court order?
