This Court received a letter from Defendant Law School Admissions Council, Inc. (“LSAC”)

16

on November 27, 2012, regarding the above-captioned case.1 In the letter, LSAC requests that the

17

undersigned recuse himself from further participation in this case pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 455, citing

18

what it considers “facts [that] would cause an objective observer to question the Court’s

19

impartiality.” See LSAC Letter at 2. The Court has since received four additional letters from the

20

parties responding in some fashion to LSAC’s initial letter. All parties are hereby ordered to cease

21

submitting additional letters to the Court on this matter.

22

IT IS SO ORDERED.
