United States v. Marion S. Barry, Jr.

Opinion for the court filed by Circuit Judge BUCKLEY.

BUCKLEY, Circuit Judge:

Marion S. Barry appeals a district court order that, on remand, resentenced him to six months’ imprisonment for possession of cocaine. First, Barry claims that a lecture delivered by the sentencing judge created an appearance of partiality that required him to recuse himself from the resentenc-ing proceedings. Second, Barry appeals the merits of the sentence on several grounds. Because the remarks did not require his disqualification, and because we find no errors in the resentencing, we affirm.
