Text: Judicial Proceedings Finally, as to whether Kyle has demonstrated that the court’s error has “seriously affected the fairness, integrity or public reputation of judicial proceedings,” United States v. Benz, 472 F.3d 657, 659 (9th Cir. 2006), we hold that he has satisfied this requirement. See Bradley, 455 F.3d at 463 (“failure to notice this sort of clear Rule 11 error would almost inevitably seriously affect the fairness and integrity of judicial proceedings”). The District Court’s February 2 UNITED STATES V. KYLE 21 remarks would be reasonably perceived by a defendant as inconsistent with the court’s role as a neutral arbiter of justice.
