The following excerpt is from Harper v. U.S., 945 F.2d 409 (9th Cir. 1991):
A party must show extrajudicial bias or prejudice when seeking disqualification of a district court judge. Thomassen v. United States, 835 F.2d 727, 732 (9th Cir.1987). Harper's conclusory allegations do not establish extrajudicial bias or prejudice on the part of the district court judge. See id.
