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

holding that “no inherent prejudice or bias arises from” a judge signing a search warrant and later ruling on a suppression motion, and thus, “there is no basis for an automatic recusal rule”
reasoning that the appearance of fairness doctrine is not violated where a suppression hearing is heard by the same judge who authorized the search warrant, noting that “[a]ppellate courts review de novo the legal conclusion of law whether probable cause is established”
“The parties did not raise or brief this issue, and we decline to reach it here.”
no violation of due process or judicial ethics where judge presided over motion to suppress under a search warrant the judge issued; appellate review is a potential check against any bias
