DEFENDANTS
ORDER

On of the defendants in this case is an orthopedic physician named “Dr. Shock.” It appears
likely that this defendant is Ethan J. Schock, M.D., an orthopedic surgeon in Little Rock.1 I am
related to Dr. Ethan Schock by marriage. Dr. Ethan Schock has provided medical treatment for
various members of my family. Therefore, to avoid the appearance of impropriety, I am recusing
from this case. The Clerk will reassign this case to another district judge by random assignment.
IT IS SO ORDERED this 9th day of June, 2014.
