United States Eleventh Circuit

In a bankruptcy adversary proceeding, the Bankruptcy Court's order sanctioning counsel for one of the Debtor corporation's principals is affirmed, where the Bankruptcy Court was not clearly erroneous in finding no factual support for counsel-s assertion that the existence of a judicial misconduct complaint against the Bankruptcy Judge created an appearance of impropriety requiring recusal.
