United States First Circuit

Petition for a writ of mandamus ordering the recusal of the presiding district court judge in a trial for conspiracy, fraud, and extortion is denied where the petitioner's entitlement to the requested relief was not clear enough to justify mandamus review, thus the issue should be raised on an appeal from final judgment.
