ORDER of Recusal directing reassignment to another judge by Judge Christine M. Arguello on 02/23/2009. (sah, )

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLORADO Judge Christine M. Arguello Civil Action No. 09-cv-00312-CMA-BNB ALLISON JENKINS, as widow and Executor of the Estate of ERIC JENKINS, Plaintiff, v. GENERAL ELECTRIC COMPANY, GE HEALTHCARE, INC., GE HEALTHCARE AS, BAYER HEALTHCARE PHARMACEUTICALS, INC. f/k/a Berlex, Inc., f/k/a Berlex Laboratories, Inc., BAYER AG, BAYER SCHERING PHARMA AG, f/k/a Schering AG, MALLINCKRODT, INC., BRACCO DIAGNOSTICS INC., BRACCO RESEARCH USA, INC., ALTANA PHARMA AG, and NYCOMED INTERNATIONAL MANAGEMENT GmbH, Defendants. ORDER OF RECUSAL This matter is before me on a review of the file. Based on the past professional relationship of a member of my staff as counsel for Defendant General Electric Company on claims similar to those involved in this case, I believe that I should recuse myself. It is, therefore, ORDERED that the judge's file be returned to the Clerk of the Court and that the case be reassigned by random draw. DATED: February 23 , 2009 BY THE COURT: ________________________________ CHRISTINE M. ARGUELLO United States District Judge
