The Conference approved several recommendations of the Review Committee, as follows:(9) That the Conference adopt as a standard for the guidance of referees in bankruptcy in conflict-ofinterest situations the same standards for disqualification in contested matters as apply to federal judges; REPORT of the PROCEEDINGS OF THE JUDICIAL CONFERENCE OF THE UNITED STATES APRIL 5-6, 1973 WASHINGTON, D.C. 1973! When a chief judge identifies a complaint, a written order stating the reasons for the identification must be provided: this begins the process articulated in Rule 11. Rule 11 provides that once a chief judge has identified a complaint, the chief judge, subject to the disqualification provisions of Rule 25, will perform, with respect to that complaint, all functions assigned to the chief judge for the determination of complaints filed by a complainant. Guide to Judiciary Policy, Vol. 2E, Ch. 3 Page 14 The Rule makes the prohibition against retaliation explicit in the interest of promoting public confidence in the complaint process Rules 4(a)(2), (3), and (4) reflect the judiciary’s commitment to maintaining a work environment in which all judicial employees are treated with dignity, fairness, and respect, and are free from harassment, discrimination, and retaliation. See Code of Conduct for United States Judges, Canon 3A(3) emt. (“The duty to be respectful includes the responsibility to avoid comment or behavior that could reasonably be interpreted as harassment, prejudice or bias.") C. Standards of Conduct (1) A judicial employee should be patient, dignified, respectful, and courteous to all persons with whom the judicial employee deals in an official capacity, including other employees and the general public. A judicial employee should not engage in sexual or other forms of harassment of court employees or retaliate against those who report misconduct. A judicial employee should hold court personnel under the judicial employee's direction to similar standards. A judicial employee should take appropriate action upon receipt of reliable information indicating a likelihood of conduct contravening this code. Appropriate action depends on the circumstances and may include, for example, reporting such conduct to a supervisor, court executive, or chief judge. For Guide to Judiciary Policy, Vol. 2A, Ch. 3 Page 6, see Code of Conduct for United States Judges, Commentary to Canons 3B(4) and 3B(6). (2) A judicial employee should diligently discharge the responsibilities of the office in a prompt, efficient, non- discriminatory, fair, and professional manner. A judicial employee should never influence or attempt to influence the assignment of cases, or perform any discretionary or ministerial function of the court in a manner that improperly favors any litigant or attorney, nor should a judicial employee imply that he or she is in a position to do so.?

Rule 21(c) provides: “Any member of the Committee from the same circuit as the subject judge is disqualified from considering or voting on a petition for review related to that subject judge. The Rules specify certain mandatory disqualifications from judges who otherwise would have responsibility for deciding a judicial misconduct complaint at one or more levels of review. Rule 25(b). And @ member of the Committee on Judicial Conduct and Disability is disqualified if the member is from the same circuit as the subject judge. Rule 21(c). In re. Complaint of Judicial Misconduct 591 F.3d_638 (9 Cir. 2009) A favorable oF unfavorable predisposition can... . deserve to be characterized as ‘bias’ or ‘prejudice’ because, even though it springs from the facts adduced or the events occurring at trial, it is so extreme 4s t0 display clear inability to render fair judgment.” Id. At__, 114 S.Ct. at 1155. In order for such bias to create a duty to recuse, however, the court's actions must “reveal such a high degree of favoritism or antagonism as to make fair judgment impossible.” Id. At __, 114 S.Ct, at 1157. (“The judge does not have to be subjectively biased or prejudiced, so long as he appears to be so.") (emphasis in original); Alexander v. Primerica Holdings, Inc., 10 F.3d 135, 162 (3d Cir. 1993) (“[TThe public's confidence in the judiciary, which may be irreparably harmed if a case is allowed to proceed before a judge who appears to be tainted”, requires that “justice must satisfy the appearance of Justice.”) (quoting In re Asbestos Litig., 977 F.2d 764, 776 (3d Cir. 1992)). The extrajudicial source doctrine, as it is commonly known, provided at one time that recusal ‘was not warranted unless the grounds for recusal emanated from an extrajudicial source Ghe., a source outside of the judicial proceedings at hand). See Liteky v. United States, 510 US. 540, 544-545, 114 S.Ct. 1147, 127 L.Ed.2d 474 (1994). [A]ctual bias or a likelihood of bias must appear if an otherwise valid administrative sanction is to be overturned because of a denial of due process.” In re Seidman, 37 F.3d 911, 925 (3d. Cir. 1994). “[A]etual bias is grounds for disqualification when the decisionmaker has a pecuniary interest in the outcome of the matter or has been the target of criticism from one seeking relief." Carberry, 114 N.J. at 586, 556 A.2d 314, Actual bias, ‘also known as bias in fact, is “the existence of a state of mind that leads to an inference that the person will not act with entire impartiality.” Torres, 128 F.3d at 43.

Holding that judge’s personal pecuniary interest in imposing fines supported the presumption of bias. There was at the common law the greatest sensitiveness over the existence of any pecuniary interest, however small or infinitesimal, in the justices of the peace. Tumey v. Ohio 273 U.S. 510 (1927)Holding that “those with a substantial pecuniary interest in legal proceedings should not adjudicate these disputes.” It is sufficiently clear from our cases that those with a substantial pecuniary interest in legal proceedings should not adjudicate these disputes. Tumey v. Ohio, 273 U.S. $10 (1927). And Ward v. Village of Monroeville, 409 U.S. 57 (1972), indicates that the financial stake need not be as direct or positive as it appeared to be in Tumey. It has also come to be the prevailing view that “[mJost of the law concerning disqualification because of interest applies with equal force to . . . administrative adjudicators.” K. Davis, Administrative Law Text § 12.04, p. 250 (1972), and cases cited. The District Court proceeded on this basis and, applying the standards taken from our cases, concluded that the pecuniary interest of the members of the Board of Optometry had sufficient substance to disqualify them, given the context in which this case arose. As remote as we are from the local realities underlying this case and it being very likely that the District Court has a firmer grasp of the facts and of their significance to the issues presented, we have no good reason on this record to overturn its conclusion and we affirm it. Gibson v. Berryhill 411 U.S. 564 (1973) Both modem versions of the ABA’s Model Code of Judicial Conduct impose a duty on judges to take appropriate disciplinary action with regard to unprofessional conduct by lawyers and other judges. This reporting requirement applies to full-time and part-time judges.6 Canon 3B(3) of the 1972 Code provides that part of a judge’s administrative responsibility is to “take or initiate appropriate disciplinary measures against a judge or lawyer for unprofessional conduct of which the judge may become aware.”’ Since 1972, some states have decided to make the standard mandatory rather than hortatory,9 expand the measures which a “fudge should take to include “corrective” or “investigative” measures or clarify the Appropriate actions that a judge must follow.” Canon 3B(3)(b) (providing that the judge who becomes aware of unprofessional conduct by a lawyer is to take “appropriate investigative or disciplinary measures” against that lawyer). For example, ifthe situation is clearly within the accepted legal definition of a conflict of interest, a “judge should refuse to allow such a practice in proceedings over which the judge presides. A judge's continued control over a case where an impermissible conflict of interest exists might suggest judicial approval of the conflict.

Abramson Hofstra Law Review Volume 25 Issue 3 Article 4 1997 REASONS FOR THE BELIEF THAT BIAS OR PREJUDICE EXISTS Tam the complainant in the above-entitled actions, and the Judges of the Third Circuit Judicial Council, before whom the present action is pending, are prejudiced against me to such an extent that I cannot receive a fair and impartial hearing or proceeding before them. In 2014, I filed Judicial Conduct Complaint in relation to the obstruction of justice regarding a criminal complaint issued by the Vineland Municipal Court. The judicial conduct complaint described the interference with the criminal complaint process and the rights guaranteed to crime victims. Judge Mckee presided over that matter. Judge Mckee falsely purported to not have found any misconduct and dismissed the matter. Judge Mckee’s conduct was prohibited by the Judicial Conduct and Disability Act and Rules. Judge Mckee failed to contact Judge Kasper of the Vineland Municipal Court before dismissing the matter. Judge Mckee opposed the allegatiosn regarding the issuance of the criminal complaint against Lynn Wehling, the rules obliged Judge Mckee to contact Judge Kasper in regard to the criminal complaint(s) he issued against Lynn A. Webling. Judge Mckee failed to investigate the matter before making a decision. Judge Mckee issued a memorandum opinion exonerating the Subject Judges that obstructed justice and intereferd with the criminal complaint process. Judge Mckee’s conduct falls within the scope of retaliation and obstruction of justice. This situation is clearly within the accepted legal definition of a conflict of interest, Judge Mckee should have refused to allow such a practice in proceedings over which he presides. Judge Mckee’s and the Third Circuit's continued control over this case where an impermissible conflict of interest exists suggest judicial approval of the conflict. The difficulties of inquiring into actual bias, and the fact that the inquiry is often a private one, simply underscore the need for objective rules. Otherwise, there may be no adequate protection against a judge who simply misreads or misapprehends the real motives at work in deciding the case. The judge’s own inquiry into actual bias, then, is not one that the law can easily superintend or review, though actual bias, if disclosed, no doubt would be grounds for appropriate relief. In lieu of exclusive reliance on that personal inquiry, or on appellate review of the judge’s determination respecting actual bias, the Due Process Clause has been implemented by objective standards that do not require proof of actual bias, See Tumey, 273 U.S., at 532, 47 S.Ct. 437;Mayberry, 400 U.S., at 465-466, 91 S.Ct. 499;Lavoie, 475 U, S., at 825, 106 S.Ct. 1580. In defining these standards, the Court has asked whether, “under a realistic appraisal of psychological tendencies and human weakness,” the interest “poses such a risk of actual bias or rejudgment that the practice must be forbidden if the guarantee of due process is to be adequately implemented.” Withrow, 421 U.S., at 47, 95 S.Ct. 1456. Caperton v. A.T. Massey Coal Co. 556 U.S. 868 (2009) To show that the appearance of bias exists and that the bias is actual, special, pervasive, and personal, El Mujaddid contends that previous filings i.e., transfer requests related to J.C. No’s. 03-20-9036, 03-21-90037, 03-21-9041, J.C. Nos. 03-22-9005, J.C. Nos. 03-22-90070-10, 03- 21-90070 criticized an extrajudicial source derived from Judge McKee’s public commentaries in the media conceming the Constitution, African Americans and his conduct in the administrative proceedings related to El Mujaddid v, Wehling (2014-2016). “the Court regarded “actual bias" as including “not only prejudice in the subjective sense but also such as might be thought implicitly to arise ‘in view of the nature or circumstances of his employment, or of the relation of the particular governmental activity to the matters involved in the prosecution, or otherwise.'” Frazier v. United States, supra, at 510-511, n. 19 (quoting United States v. Wood, Supra, at 133-134).Smith v. Phillips 455 U.S. 209 (1982) The Respondent argues strongly in favor of applying an actual bias standard. In doing so, the Respondent relies almost exclusively on Kaplan's footnote 30 where the Third Circuit borrows ‘Sixth Circuit language to indicate that evident partiality is only present “when a reasonable person would have to conclude that an arbitrator was partial” to one of the parties. Kaplan, 19 F.3d at 1523, n. 30 (3d Cir. 1994). In Kaplan, the Third Circuit's cursory mention of the evident partiality standard consists largely of a single sentence taken from the Sixth Circuit's Apperson v, Fleet Carrier Corp. The ‘Sixth Circuit's approach in Apperson is directly taken from the Second Circuit's Morelite Construction Corp. v. New York City District Council Carpenters Benefit Funds, 748 F.2d 79 (2d. Cir. 1984). Thus, the origins of the actual bias standard can be traced directly to the Second Circuit's break from the Commonwealth Coatings holding in Morelite. Crow Construction v. Jeffrey M. Brown Assoc. Inc. 264 F. Supp. 2d 217 (ED. Pa. 2003) Holding that the defendant demonstrated actual bias where the murder victim had made allegations concerning the trial court prior to her death, the trial court had a personal interest in protecting his name and the county's judiciary, and the trial court made rulings calculated to remove any mention of himself or implication of his alleged wrongdoing from the defendant's defense Criminal defendants have a constitutional right to be tried before a fair and impartial judge. Bracy v. Gramley, 520 U.S. 899, 904-05, 117 S.Ct, 1793, 138 LEd.2d 97 (1997). The due process clause “requires that a defendant receive a fair trial in a fair tribunal before a judge with no actual bias against the defendant or interest in the outcome of his particular case.” Id. (citations omitted); see also In re Murchison, 349 U.S. 133, 136, 75 S.Ct. 623, 99 L.Ed. 942 (1955) (“A fair trial in a fair tribunal is a basic requirement of due process. Fairness of course requires an absence of actual bias in the trial of cases."). Harrison v. Anderson 300 F. Supp. 2d 690 (S.D. Ind. 2004) Judge Mckee issued invalid orders with the intent to deprive El Mujaddid of his Constitutional rights as they relate to the filing of Judicial Misconduct complaints when it was clear that he had a pecuniary interest* in the outcome of the matter and where El Mujaddid previously submitted the news article expounding on Judge Mckee’s commentaries about Aftican Americans, which were the target of El Mujaddid’s criticism, Judge Mckee also had a pecuniary interest in seeing that no actual investigation of the exculpatory evidence would occur and that El Mujaddid’s First Amendment right to petition would be gagged, an incident of slavery prohibited by the Thirteenth Amendment of the United States Constitution. Moreover, even if there is no showing of actual bias in the tribunal, this Court has held that due process is denied by circumstances that create the likelihood or the appearance of bias. This rule, too, was well established long before the right to jury trial was made applicable in state trials, and does not depend on it. Thus it has been invoked in trials to a judge, e. g., Tumey v. Ohio, 273 U.S. 510 (1927); In re Murchison, 349 U.S. 133 (1955); Mayberry v. Pennsylvania, 400 U.S. 455 (1971); and in pre- Duncan state jury trials, e. g., Turner v. Louisiana, 379 U.S. 466 (1965); Estes v. Texas, 381 U.S. 532, 550 (1965). In Tumey v. Ohio, ‘Holding magistrate lacked neutrality because he had a pecuniary interest in seeing the warrant issue. Connally v. Georgia 429 U.S. 245 (1977) Pecuniary interest” was shown, the District Court said, by the fact that “their incomes as hearing officers are entirely dependent upon the carrier's decisions regarding whether, and how often, to call upon their services.” Id,, at 415. Schweiker v. McClure 456 U.S. 188 (1982) Holding that a hearing where the judge has a “direct, personal, substantial, pecuniary interest” in the outcome of the case violates the due process clause of the fourteenth amendment. This Court held that “it certainly violates the Fourteenth Amendment, and deprives a defendant in a criminal case of due process of law, to subject his liberty or property to the judgment of a court the judge of which has a direct, personal, substantial, pecuniary interest in reaching a conclusion against him in his case.” Id., at 523.Ward v. Village of Monroeville 409 US. 57 (1972) supra, this Court held that a judge could not, consistent with due process, try a case when he had a financial stake in the outcome, notwithstanding the possibility that ‘he might resist the temptation to be influenced by that interest. And in Turner v. Louisiana, supra, the Court held that a jury could not, consistent with due process, sry a case after it had been placed in the protective custody of the principal Prosecution witnesses, notwithstanding the possibility that the jurors might not be influenced by the association. As this Court said in In re Murchison, supra, “Mairness of course requires an absence of actual bias in the trial of cases. But our system of law has always endeavored to prevent even the probability of unfairness.” 349 U.S., at 136. Peters v. Kiff 407 U.S. 493 (1972) ‘The Second extrajudicial source derives from the National Constitution Center. Judge McKee participated in a National Constitution Center interview where the question “Does a Judge's personal opinion ever affect his or her decision?” Judge McKee stated: ‘onderful, Wonderful question, and, and Chief Judge Tucker said something very important, that is, We are who we are, most of the time, the law is so clear, as she said we've taken an oath to uphold it, and the law is either a statute an act of congress, or state statute or something, the statute requires a certain result, or supreme court law or our own own court, has decided a case, so close to this case, that the law is clear, and you, if you don't like it, you hold your nose, and just do it, and that’s happened at times, but there are times where the law is ambiguous, and it could be interpreting a statute, or whether or not another case law applies, and it’s not really clear, what the results should be, in those cases, I personally think and judges..... this... that who you are can have you impact most of the time that’s subliminal, can in that case impact how you decided things ‘The Third extrajudicial source derives from Judge Mckee’s participation in the August 4, 2009, National Press Club event hosted by the American Constitution Society on the importance of diversity on the federal bench.’ Judge McKee spoke on the Bias within the Third Circuit Supervised Courts and himself. Judge McKee stated: “Because in this day and age, ..... decisions, no one sits around and uses the N- word, wh there’s not an overt manifestation of racism, and I would submit to you, the problem is all of us have biases, that we are just not aware of, we are bombarded with images from the day we are born, we get it on television, we get in the music, we get it every time we open a book or magazine article, and I recall and 5 https:/Awww. youtube. comy/watch?v=ct25uYNdJjs § https://www. youtube.c I was thinking about this yesterday, that that the Doll experiments, that were brought up in brown v, board of education, we even young black kids by the age of Jive, when their given a black doll and white doll, then asked to identify which Doll is prettiest to them, they picked the white doll, and I read recently where that experiment was duplicated by someone, I didn’t read that much about it and the same results held true, that the black, the young black kids were identifying the white doll as being prettier and having better qualities, so all of us have those kinds of biases within ourselves, So for us to joke, uhh to the public or to ourselves and say that we, can decide cases based upon total objectivity, if, if someone really believes that, !would submit who's a Judge, their either lying to themselves or lying to the audience, and I don't want to castigate ummm ...... to anyone, cause I have a lot of respect for people who have said that, but there some circumstances where you have to say that, umm but its a very naive position to take, we have biases that we are not aware of so, how in the world can we say that those biases don’t affect judgment.” The Doll test results reveal similarities that may be observed in this matter, where Judge Mckee has taken an active role in denying the complainant a Black Man, due process an equal protection. Even here, Judge Mckee’s bias functions in the same manner as the Black Children in the Doll test he used as a comparison regarding the Subject of “Bias”. As the Black Children choose the White Doll, Judge Mckee chooses to rule in favor of the White individuals subject of my complaints without evidence to support his decisions. For example, the criminal complaint of peonage issued by Judge Kasper (Vineland Municipal Court) against Lynn Wehling was subjected to the obstruction of justice, despite having its own prohibition against being obstructed. This should interest Congress. ‘The (3) three criminal complaints prepared by Lynn Webling against El Mujaddid were never signed by a Judge in direct violation of the Fourth Amendment but were used to obtain a conviction’ without due process of law and fine payments in direct violation of the Thirteenth "In order to recover damages for allegedly unconstitutional conviction or imprisonment, or for other harm caused by actions whose unlawfulness would render a conviction or sentence invalid, a § 1983 plaintiff must prove that the conviction or sentence has been reversed on direct appeal, expunged by executive order, declared invalid by a state tribunal authorized to make such 9 Amendment. El Mujaddid provided these documents to the Third Circuit, Judge Mckee issued a ‘memorandum opinion implying that he did not find cognizable misconduct and that the evidence submitted wasn’t sufficient. This conduct amounts to a deprivation of the right to give evidence and testimony as they are enumerated in 42 U.S.C. 1981. In, Sum without contacting State Judges Becker and Kasper, Judge Mckee has treated arrest warrant applications lacking the signature of a judge and lacking probable cause findings as if they had those fourth amendment requirements, simply because they were prepared by a White defendant, this type of bias is the same bias used by Black children in choosing the White Doll, during the Doll test. Judge Mckee has put arrest warrant applications signed only by a White detective above criminal complaints actually signed and issued by a Judge against that same White detective with probable cause findings because the victim of that White Detectives” criminal actions is Black. The Fourth extrajudicial source derives from the Second Founding celebration of the 150th anniversary of the Reconstruction Amendments, Judges Janice Rogers Brown of the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals, Bernice Donald of the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals, and Theodore McKee of the Third Circuit Court of Appeals discussed the history of the 14th Amendment. Judge McKee spoke on the Bias within the Third Circuit Supervised Courts and himself. Judge McKee stated: Before you go into the court, he will not know what the race of the defendants going 10 be, I don't know how you do that because in Philadelphia the residence is going to give you that...........We often do it, some of it, is who we identify with, who we are afraid of, umm and I think the only way we can fight against that is t0 recognize that it’s there, not be threatened by the fact that it’s there, not be defensive by the fact that is there, Ihave it, we all have it, be honest about it, and then try to see what we can do to deal with it, I think the shooter’s bias, I think it's explains, why so many incidents of black kids are being shot unarmed, the social science on that is Legion, to document something called a shooters bias... police I determination, or called into question by a federal court's issuance of a writ of habeas corpus, 28 U.S. C. § 2254.Heck v.

Some early university trustees owned slaves'* and were among the most ardent anti-abolitionists in the mid-Atlantic region. Others were proponents of the colonization movement, which supported sending former slaves to Africa rather than allowing them to live alongside whites. Rutgers' early faculty and curriculum reinforced the racism that justified slavery and the separation of races. "Like most early American colleges, Rutgers depended on slaves to build its campuses and serve its students and faculty," the book states, "It depended on the sale of black people to fund its very existence," noting donors who gave money or land to the university-owned slaves.'° "” bttps:/lapnews.convarticle/5533,afb37974bdfb798A07bSTbSble (We take judicial notice of the existence of a letter-to-the-editor by Attorney Rohn published in the St. Croix Source.

Under the Fifth Amendment, the complainant is entitled to administrative process before judges who are not biased against him at any point of the proceedings and, indeed, most importantly, at the judgment. The Subject District judge had a special bias against Plaintiff as one of those Sovereign Citizens ot Redemptionists. The Third Circuit's actions and inactions thus far have supported such special bias. The court reasoned that if during "a lengthy trial . . . the presiding judge for the First time learns of an obscure religious sect, and acquires a passionate hatred for all its adherents," the fact that the beliefs arose through a judicial proceeding is of no consequence. Id. at __, 114 8.Ct. at 1154, The duty to recuse would arise. This is because the words "extrajudicial bias" really are intended to convey the notion of a "wrongful or inappropriate" bias, regardless of whether the improper bias arises from the evidence adduced at trial or from some extraneous source.
