What is the test for a motion alleging misconduct by a federal judge?

MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from Toney v. Gwanthney, Case No.: 3:18-cv-02786-WQH-KSC (S.D. Cal. 2019):

complaint states a plausible claim for relief [is] . . . a context-specific task that requires the reviewing court to draw on its judicial experience and common sense." Id. The "mere possibility of misconduct" falls short of meeting this plausibility standard. Id.; see also Moss v. U.S. Secret Service, 572 F.3d 962, 969 (9th Cir. 2009).
