In a motion for reconsideration, how have the courts dealt with the issue of bias and impartiality?

MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from Osborne v. Tulis, 13-4402 (2nd Cir. 2015):

Regarding the denial of their motion for reconsideration, the Osbornes generally argue that the district court's adverse ruling exhibited bias. However, "[a]dverse rulings, standing alone, do not establish judicial bias or prejudice . . . nor create a reasonable question of judicial impartiality." See United States v. Schwartz, 535 F.2d 160, 165 (2d Cir. 1976) (citation omitted). Because the Osbornes offer no other reason supported by the record that the district court erred in affirming the denial of their motion for reconsideration, we affirm.
