Text: 48 (3) whether reassignment would entail waste and duplication out of proportion to any gain in preserving the appearance of fairness. 49 Id. 50 None of these factors weigh in favor of remanding the present case to a different district court judge. There is nothing in the record or in Brown's brief to convince us that the district court judge would have difficulty considering the case on remand in an objective manner. Nor is there any reason to think that reassignment is advisable to preserve the appearance of justice. It is therefore unnecessary for a new district court judge to become familiar with the complex factual and procedural history of this case. As a result, we decline to grant the extraordinary relief of remanding this case to a different district court judge.
