Petitioner,

ORDER

RON DAVIS, et al.,

15

Respondents.

16
17

Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding pro se has filed a Petition for a Writ of Habeas

18

Corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. section 2254. The undersigned hereby disqualifies himself from

19

sitting on this case pursuant to 28 U.S.C. section 455(a) insofar as his law clerk, who would have

20

some responsibilities with regard to the case, was at one time sued by Petitioner, and a failure to

21

recuse risks creation of an appearance of impropriety or concern about his impartiality.

22

The Clerk of the Court shall assign this matter to another Magistrate Judge forthwith.

23

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: January 12, 2017
