Question Presented (AI Summary)

Where a state court denied a judicial bias claim based on another state court's finding that the judge in question had not demonstrated actual bias, did the state court fail to apply the correct legal standard, i.e., whether, objectively speaking, the probability of actual bias was too high to be constitutionally tolerable?

Question Presented (OCR Extract)

QUESTIONS PRESENTED 1. Where a state court denied a judicial bias claim based on another state court’s finding that the judge in question had not demonstrated actual bias, did the state court fail to apply the correct legal standard, i.e., whether, objectively speaking, the probability of actual bias was too high to be constitutionally tolerable? 2. Given that the legal error here is the same that was reviewed by this Court in Rippo v. Baker, 137 S. Ct. 905 (2017), should this Court, as in Rippo, grant certiorari, vacate the state court decision, and remand for further proceedings? i
