ORDER OF RECUSAL
______________________________________________________________________________
Magistrate Judge Nina Y. Wang
Title 28 U.S.C. § 455(b) requires that a judge disqualify herself in certain circumstances
in which her impartiality might be reasonably questioned. The provision is self-enforcing on the
part of the judge. See United States v. Pearson, 203 F.3d 1243, 1276 (10th Cir. 2000). Simply
put, “[w]hat matters is not the reality of bias or prejudice but its appearance.” Liteky v.United
States, 510 U.S. 540, 548 (1994).
Upon review of the file of this case, I conclude that I must recuse myself from further
service in this case. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that:
(1) I recuse myself from further service in this matter; and
(2) The Clerk of the Court shall cause this case to be reassigned to another Magistrate
Judge.
Dated: February 19, 2015
