What is the test for recusal of a judge for partiality?

MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from Hanshaw v. Emerald River Dev., 244 F.3d 1128 (9th Cir. 2001):

See Liteky v. United States, 510 U.S. 540, 554-55 (1994). In the instance where the partiality develops during the course of the proceedings, it can be the basis of recusal only when the judge displays a deep-seated and unequivocal antagonism that would render fair judgment impossible. See id. at 555.
