IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLORADO Civil Action No. 09-cv-02764-MSK-KLM NAGHAM DARWISH, Plaintiff, v. FAMILY DOLLAR STORES, INC., CHRIS NIELSEN, Family Dollar Regional Vice-President of Loss Prevention, and DON PACK, Former Family Dollar Regional Vice President, Defendants. _____________________________________________________________________ ORDER OF RECUSAL _____________________________________________________________________ ENTERED BY MAGISTRATE JUDGE KRISTEN L. MIX This matter was drawn to me and was subsequently referred to me by District Judge Marcia S. Krieger [Docket No. 3] for pretrial case management. Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 455(a), a Magistrate Judge shall disqualify herself "in any proceeding in which [her] impartiality might reasonably be questioned." In view of the fact that I have a friendship with counsel for one of the parties, and in order to avoid the appearance of impropriety, I hereby recuse myself from this action. The Clerk of the Court shall assign another Magistrate Judge to this case.
