  • holding that court’s mention of a guilty plea and acceptance of responsibility to defense counsel was not reversible error
  • “[m]ore modest deprivations can also form the 21 objective basis of a violation, but only if such deprivations are lengthy or ongoing”
  • “[m]ore modest deprivations can also form the 18 objective basis of a violation, but only if such deprivations are lengthy or ongoing”
  • no error where the remarks of the court did not take place in the context of plea negotiation discussions, but rather, in the context of a motion for severance
  • “[T]he interests of justice are best served if the judge remains aloof from all discussions preliminary to the determination of guilt or innocence so that his impartiality and objectivity shall not be open to any question or suspicion when it becomes his duty to impose sentence.”
  • no Rule 11 violation when the judge at sidebar during trial stated “why doesn’t [defendant] plead out, Civil No. 17-2331 and Criminal No. 14-225 (FAB) 9 get the three levels he’s entitled to and then that will accomplish the severance, but that’s not for me to say.”
