PHOENIX (AP) An appeals court has rejected a bid by the former operators of Backpage.com to recuse a judge in Arizona from presiding over their upcoming trial on prostitution facilitation charges because of statements made by the judge’s husband about human trafficking and the now-shuttered classified ad site.
The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals concluded on Monday that Judge Susan Brnovich made no clear error in rejecting the recusal request made by Backpage founders Michael Lacey, James Larkin and other former site managers, who argued that letting her remain on the case, scheduled to go to trial Aug. 23, could lead people to question the court’s impartiality.

Local parents who went to court Tuesday to force their school districts to return to in-class learning five days a week have been put on hold.
State Supreme Court Judge Emilio Colaiacovo has denied the request for immediate action to compel the districts to fully reopen, but will be revisiting the case in the coming days.
Colaiacovo asked state officials to explain why New York schools are still requesting six-foot social-distancing measures among students while the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention last month modified the practice to three feet. The judge also wanted two of the four districts involved in the suit Orchard Park and Williamsville to present their full reopening plans to him next week.
