ORDER OF RECUSAL

Magistrate Judge Craig B. Shaffer This matter was drawn to me upon the filing of the Complaint (doc. #1) on August 27, 2009. Pursuant to the Order of Reference dated October 23, 2009 (doc. # 38), this civil action was referred to the Magistrate Judge to, inter alia, "[h]ear and determine pretrial matters, including discovery and other nondispositive motions . . . ." In accordance with 28 U.S.C. § 455(a), a Magistrate Judge shall disqualify himself "in any proceeding in which his impartiality might be reasonably be questioned." In order to avoid

the appearance of impropriety, I hereby recuse myself from this action. The Clerk of Court shall assign another magistrate judge to this case.

DATED at Denver, Colorado, this 28th day of October, 2009. BY THE COURT:
