The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Wait, 951 F.2d 364 (9th Cir. 1991):
2 Wait's argument that the judge's failure to permit the introduction of evidence of duress supports a finding of partiality is meritless. Allegations involving a judge's performance while presiding over a case do not provide a basis for recusal because they do not stem from an extrajudicial source. United States v. Studley, 783 F.2d 934, 939 (9th Cir.1986).
