RENO, Nev. (AP) — A federal appeals court has overturned another ruling by the same federal judge in Nevada, criticizing his unorthodox handling of a Burning Man lawsuit and ordering him off a case for the sixth time in four years. The appellate court ruled that Judge Robert Jones had no legal basis to reject a deal lawyers for Burning Man and Pershing County reached in 2013 to settle a dispute. The panel said Jones inappropriately mocked the lawyers during a Reno hearing.
