Before FLAUM, RIPPLE, and EVANS,Circuit Judges.

Fifteen years ago, after a bench trial in the Circuit Court of Cook County presided over by Judge John Morrissey, Andrew Suh was convicted of first-degree murder and armed robbery and sentenced to consecutive terms of 80 and 20 years. In a state court petition for post-conviction relief, Suh argued that his convictions and sentences were tainted, in violation of the due process clause, because Judge Morrissey had an undisclosed relationship with the family of the murder victim. The state courts denied Suh’s petition. He then sought a writ of habeas corpus in federal court, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 2254, but that petition was also denied. See Suh v. Mote, 2009 WL 3681645 (N.D. Ill. Nov. 3, 2009). Suh now appeals.
