TIMBERS, Chief Judge.
QUESTION PRESENTED
The essential question presented by defendants’ motions, pursuant to 28 U.S. C. § 144, to disqualify the undersigned judge from proceeding further in these cases is whether rulings by the judge fixing bail and on motions to reduce bail show personal bias or prejudice on the part of the judge against defendants.
The Court holds that the affidavits in support of the instant motions are insufficient as a matter of law to show the personal bias or prejudice required for disqualification. The motions are denied as utterly frivolous.
Each motion is supported by…
