MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Velazquez v. City of Long Beach, 793 F.3d 1010 (9th Cir. 2015):
Litigants are entitled to a fair trial and a perception that the presiding judge does not possess a bias that will affect rulings during trial. Montiel v. City of Los Angeles, 2 F.3d 335, 344 (9th Cir.1993). Reassignment is therefore advisable to preserve the appearance of justice. Rivera, 682 F.3d at 1237.
