Defendants.

This matter is set for a settlement conference on May 9, 2017. The court set a related
15
telephonic status conference in the matter for April 25, 2017. However, because of a technical
16
error, both of the parties were disconnected from the telephonic status conference and the status
17
conference was not held. On May 1, 2017, Plaintiff filed a document requesting that the
18
undersigned recuse himself from the settlement conference, claiming that the failure to hold the
19
status conference shows prejudice and bias.
20
The undersigned finds no merit to Plaintiff's claim. No substantive matters were to be
21
decided at the status conference, as it was simply a status conference to confirm the parties'
22
attendance at the upcoming settlement conference. Finding no basis for recusal, Plaintiff's request
23
is HEREBY DENIED.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
