Filed Order of Affirmance. "We conclude the district court did not abuse its discretion by denying Larson's motions to set aside the stipulated decree. We conclude relief is unwarranted based on this argument because Larson has not demonstrated that any alleged bias was based on knowledge acquired outside of the proceedings, and the challenged decision does not otherwise reflect "a deep-seated favoritism or antagonism that would make fair judgment impossible.'"
