Heading: order denying recusal

Text: Next we address Ms. Rose’s claim that the district court erred in denying her motion to recuse due to the appearance of impartiality, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 455(a). Ms. Rose asserts that the district court improperly failed to recognize the merit to her arguments, dismissed her prior federal case, denied her motions -12- for a temporary restraining order and mediation, and dismissed the case. By these arguments, Ms. Rose asserts that the district judge was biased based solely on its unfavorable rulings. But adverse rulings cannot alone provide grounds for disqualification. See Bixler v. Foster, 596 F.3d 751, 762 (10th Cir. 2010). Accordingly, we find no error in the district court’s order denying recusal.
