Is there any case law where a judge was biased or prejudiced?

federal, United States of America

The following excerpt is from In re Goodwin, 194 BR 214 (B.A.P. 9th Cir. 1996):

Ricci v. Key Bancshares of Maine, Inc., 111 F.R.D. 369, 373 n. 4 (D.Me.1986). The Appellants have failed to show even a reasonable suspicion that the judge was biased or prejudiced. In the absence of such a showing, the Appellants were simply engaging in a fishing expedition. See Lyeth v. Chrysler Corp., 929 F.2d 891, 899 (2d Cir.1991) (district court properly denied requests for discovery regarding whether arbitrator had been biased or prejudiced). The bankruptcy court properly denied discovery.

Specifically addressing each area subject to discovery:
