Heading: The District Court's Administration of this Case

Text: 152 The Plaintiffs contend the district court administered this case unjustly. They first assert the district court harbored an unfair disdain for the Plaintiffs which led the court to oversee the case in a biased fashion. The Plaintiffs then list a number of the district court's rulings which were unfavorable to them as evidence of the court's harsh, lopsided and manifestly unjust treatment. 153 To the extent that some of the specified rulings were contested in greater depth in previous sections of the Plaintiffs' brief, this court has already disposed of those arguments. Furthermore, the Plaintiffs cite no legal authority at all in contesting other rulings which they failed to address in prior portions of their brief, thus waiving these arguments on appeal. See Adler, 144 F.3d at 679 (noting that [a]rguments inadequately briefed in the opening brief are waived). Finally, at no point during the litigation did the Plaintiffs seek to have the district court judge disqualified on the basis of bias or on any other grounds. The Plaintiffs thus waive their bias argument on appeal because they failed to timely move for disqualification. See United States v. Stenzel, 49 F.3d 658, 661 (10th Cir. 1995). Therefore, this court concludes none of these arguments warrants reversal.
