Turley v. Mink et al

Filing 43

ORDER of Recusal, by Judge R. Brooke Jackson on 10/3/11. (gmssl, )

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLORADO
Honorable R. Brooke Jackson

Civil Action No. 10CV2772
ROBERT TURLEY
Plaintiff(s),
v.
CORRECTIONAL HEALTHCARE MANAGEMENT, et al.
Defendants(s).
ORDER of RECUSAL
This case was recently reassigned to me. However, I handled the underlying criminal case
against Mr. Turley in state court, including imposing a sentence to the Department of Corrections. Also, I
recall that the incident involving the ham sandwich came up in some manner while I had the case as a
state court judge, although I do not recall what, if anything, I was asked to do or what, if anything, I did.
In any event, in order that Mr. Turley and his counsel can feel that this case will be heard by an
independent judicial officer with no prior connection to it, I hereby recuse myself from further
participation in the case and ask that it be reassigned to another judge.
DATED this 3rd day of October, 2011.
BY THE COURT:
