Does the district court abuse its discretion by denying a recusal motion from a judge?

MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from Burgess v. Selection Systems, 134 F.3d 376 (9th Cir. 1997):

The district court did not abuse its discretion by denying Burgess's recusal motion, because Burgess presented no basis for questioning the judge's impartiality. See Moideen v. Gillespie, 55 F.3d 1478, 1482 (9th Cir.1995).
