Is there any extrajudicial bias or prejudice in a motion to disqualify a judge?

MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from Poster v. U.S., 947 F.2d 950 (9th Cir. 1991):

1 On appeal, Poster also contends that the district judge "had a preconceived decision already made that I was guilty and that nothing I was going to say or present [at the hearing] was going to change his mind." This contention is meritless; there is nothing in the record that suggests that the district judge had any extrajudicial bias. See Thomassen v. United States, 835 F.2d 727, 732 (9th Cir.1987) (party must show extrajudicial bias or prejudice when seeking disqualification of district judge).
