Antyane Robinson v. Pennsylvania
DueProcess HabeasCorpus Immigration JusticiabilityDoctri
1. Where a state court denied a judicial bias claim based on another state
court's finding that the judge in question had not demonstrated actual bias, did the
state court fail to apply the correct legal standard, i.e., whether, objectively speaking,
the probability of actual bias was too high to be constitutionally tolerable?
2. Given that the legal error here is the same that was reviewed by this
Court in Rippo v. Baker, 137 S. Ct. 905 (2017), should this Court, as in Rippo, grant
certiorari, vacate the state court decision, and remand for further proceedings?
