What's your point? Mine is the judge had no jurisdiction. The matter was never before him. It never reached court.
If the judge acted on the case he must have known about it. If he knew about it it was before him. If it was before him he had jurisdiction.
A court case need not be filed for a judge to act. Often a judge will determine if a case may be presented. Judges may become involved before a prosecutor or other agent of the court files an action. Granting a warrant is a case in point.
