124008P.pdf   12/26/2013  United States  v.  Nathan Melton
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  12-4008
   U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Iowa - Cedar Rapids   
   [PUBLISHED] [Shepherd, Author, with Loken and Gruender, Circuit Judges] 
   Criminal case - Criminal law. The district court did not commit plain 
   error by not recusing sua sponte in defendant's third proceeding to revoke 
   supervision; the length of defendant's sentence did not establish 
   partiality nor did the judge's expressions of frustration regarding 
   defendant's repeated disregard for the conditions of his release; judge's 
   presence during defendant's disruptive behavior in open court was not a 
   ground for disqualification.
