UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE

1

Mr. Pinder filed an objection to the appointment of United States Magistrate Judge Beth
Deere. He also asks that I recuse. The appointment of Judge Deere was appropriate in
this matter. See Local Rules for the United States District Court for the Eastern and
Western Districts of Arkansas, Rule 72.1. Further, Mr. Pinder has failed to make a
sufficient showing to require recusal in this matter. Liteky v. United States, 510 U.S. 540,
555, 114 S.Ct. 1147, 127 L.Ed.2d 474 (1994); Holloway v. United States, 960 F.2d 1348,
1351(8th Cir. 1992)(unfavorable judicial ruling “insufficient to require disqualification
absent a showing of 'pervasive personal bias and prejudice.' ”).

Mr. Pinder’s motion for injunctive relief, docket # 232, is denied as moot.
