PROBLEM: magistrate judge denied the motion, explaining that Mr. Schueller’s subjective perceptions did not demonstrate judicial bias and his claims were not based on any extrajudicial source to support a bias or partiality challenge. We generally review the denial of a recusal motion for abuse of discretion. ClearOne Comm’cns, Inc. v. Bowers, 651 F.3d 1200, 1217 (10th Cir.2011). For the reasons stated in the magistrate judge’s order denying recusal, we determine that recusal was not warranted and we find no abuse of discretion in the denial of the motion to recuse. To the extent Mr. Schueller now claims that the district judge was biased against him, he did not raise this issue to the district court, so we do not address it. See Koch v. Koch Indus., Inc., 203 F.3d 1202, 1239 (10th Cir.2000) (<HOLDING>). III. CONCLUSION Wells Fargo’s motion for

The District Court’s Enhancement of Hall’s Base Offense Level Hall also argues that his sentence is substantively unreasonable because it was enhanced using a Guideline offense level that was not based upon empirical data. United States Sentencing Commission, “Fifteen Years of Guidelines Sentencing,” 47 (2004). Hall cites United States v. Grant, No. 8:07CR242, 2008 WL 2485610, at *4 (D.Neb.2008), for the proposition that, as a result, the offense level for murder in § 2A1.1 is a less reliable appraisal of a fair sentence. A sentencing court is free to reject a Guidelines range based on policy considerations. United States v. Janosko, 355 Fed.Appx. 892, 895 (6th Cir.2009) (<HOLDING>).
