Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• holding that in a motion to disqualify, it is unnecessary to compel judges to produce discovery concerning communications with presiding judge if other witnesses or documents are known
• allowing such inquiries would invite “manipulated harassment” and, at a minimum, cause delays in litigation
• “If a circumstance giving rise to a perceived or even a declared prejudice by a judge arises out of communications or events known to the judge only by virtue of . . . actions taken by him or her in a judicial capacity . . . there is no basis as a matter of law for disqualifying the judge.”
