MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Colvin v. O'Connor, 129 F.3d 125 (9th Cir. 1997):
We review a denial of a recusal motion for abuse of discretion. See Sewer Alert Comm. v. Pierce County, 791 F.2d 796, 798 (9th Cir.1986) (per curiam). "The standard for recusal is 'whether a reasonable person with knowledge of all the facts would conclude that the judge's impartiality might reasonably be questioned.' " See id. (quoting United States v. Nelson, 718 F.2d 315, 321 (9th Cir.1983)).
