The motion was submitted by an organization of which the judge had been president, but from which he had retired six months prior to its filing. The judge accordingly refused to disqualify himself because his name appeared in error on the motion to file the <i>amicus</i> brief and because he took no part in preparation or approval of the brief. The Fifth Circuit, however, ruled that his explanation would not "dissipate the doubts that a reasonable person would probably have about the court’s impartiality." </p><p>The Supreme Court reversed, finding the Fifth Circuit's decision inconsistent with <i><a href="/w/index.php?title=Liljeberg_v._Health_Services_Acquisition_Corp.&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Liljeberg v.
