P. 11 and M.R. Civ. The court also scheduled a hearing for March 30 to review, inter alia, the reasonableness of the attorney fees awarded. On March 30, he filed an additional motion to recuse. On March 31, the Probate Court denied these motions. This appeal followed.
Recusal is a matter within the broad discretion of the trial court.
Accordingly, we review the denial of a motion to recuse for an abuse of discretion. Based on the record before us, we discern no abuse of the judge's discretion in declining to disqualify himself. Dineen has not demonstrated any such circumstances here. Dineen contends that the court erred in finding that he violated M.R. Civ. P. 11 and in not providing him with notice before it imposed sanctions.
