The Court HEREBY ADVISES the parties that the undersigned’s son is a Deputy City

17

Attorney with the San Francisco City Attorney’s Office, which represents Defendant in this case.

18

Although the undersigned and his son have not had any contact or communications about this

19

matter, out of an abundance of caution, the Court issues this Order in the event any party believes

20

the undersigned should recuse himself from this matter. The Court also advises the parties that, in

21

connection with a previous case, the Court sought a formal opinion from the Committee on Codes of

22

Conduct of the Judicial Conference of the United States, regarding a request for recusal. The

23

Committee issued a thorough opinion outlining the circumstances in which recusal might be

24

warranted, and it found that recusal was not required in that case. The Court will make a copy of

25

that letter available to any party upon request.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
