Filing 148

ORDER OF RECUSAL directing reassignment to another judge. By Chief Judge Wiley Y. Daniel on 08/12/2010. (sah, )

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLORADO Chief Judge Wiley Y. Daniel Civil Action No. 09-cv-02052-WYD-CBS ALISON MAYNARD; and GERALD LEWIS, Plaintiffs, v. COLORADO SUPREME COURT OFFICE OF ATTORNEY REGULATION COUNSEL; APRIL MCMURRY; JOHN GLEASON; JAMES COYLE; COLORADO SUPREME COURT; MARY MULLARKEY; GREGORY J. HOBBS, JR.; NANCY RICE; MICHAEL BENDER; NATHAN BEN COATS; ALEX MARTINEZ; and ALLISON EID, Defendants. ORDER OF RECUSAL
This matter is before the Court on a review of the file. I recently was assigned a new case filed by the plaintiffs in this case, Alison Maynard and Gerald Lewis, Civil Action No. 10-cv-01850-WYD. In that case, I am named as a defendant and the Introduction to the Complaint alleges a conspiracy that references my actions in connection with this lawsuit. The Complaint in the new action by Lewis and Maynard thus appears to question my impartiality in this case. Accordingly, I find that I should recuse myself pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 455(a). It is therefore

ORDERED that the judge's file be returned to the clerk and that the case be reassigned by random draw.

Dated: August 12, 2010 BY THE COURT: s/ Wiley Y. Daniel Wiley Y. Daniel Chief United States District Judge
