ORDER ON MOTION FOR JUDICIAL INTERVENTION
On October 30, 2017, James Stile filed a letter motion with the Court in these
two cases, asking this Judge to contact the Federal Correctional Institution at Fort
Dix, New Jersey, where Mr. Stile is incarcerated, and “discuss the responsibilities
that [he has] to the Court, my[]self, the seven attorneys and the sixty-some odd
Defendants and others associated to this litigation.” Mot. for Judicial Intervention at
1 (ECF No. 462 – 1:13-cv-00248-JAW); (ECF No. 209 – 2:14-cv-00406-JAW)). Mr.
Stile contends that the Federal Bureau of Prisons is obstructing his ability to
prosecute his civil actions, id., and he asks this Judge to intervene.

The Court DENIES James Stile’s Motion for Judicial Intervention (ECF No.
462 – 1:13-cv-00248-JAW); (ECF No. 209 – 2:14-cv-00406-JAW). For this Court to
intervene on behalf of a litigant in the fashion proposed by Mr. Stile would be highly
inappropriate and would violate several provisions of the Code of Conduct for United
States Judges.
SO ORDERED.
