No. It's asking a higher court to decide that the judge mis-applied the pertinent law or clearly mis-decided the facts.
A change-of-venue motion is not for the purpose of picking another judge who you think will decide things in a better way. It is, rather, for the purpose of moving the proceeding to a place that would be more convenient for the parties or witnesses. In this case, the decision has already been made, so a change of venue would be too late anyway.
