Too Old to Preside Over Age Discrimination Case?

A man in New York City is suing non-profit Young Concert Artists under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act for limiting the age of competitors to musicians between the ages of 19 and 26.  The claimant, Martin Stoner, is a 60-year old violinist with a long career in the music industry. 

Bizarre you say.....you don't know the half of it!

The case was dismissed and the claimant has now requested that the 88-year old judge assigned to the case recuse himself because he is too old.

More on the case here and here.
