Does a motion to disqualify a magistrate judge have any basis for disqualification?

The following excerpt is from Mir v. Ten Unknown FBI Agents, 20-55739 (9th Cir. 2021):
The district court did not abuse its discretion by denying Mir's motion to disqualify the magistrate judge because Mir failed to establish any ground for disqualification. See United States v. McTiernan, 695 F.3d 882, 891-92 (9th Cir.
2012) (setting forth standard of review and circumstances requiring disqualification).
