UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF MICHIGAN
SOUTHERN DIVISION

PETER BORMUTH,
Plaintiff,
v.

Case No. 12-11235

CITY OF JACKSON, et al.,
Defendants.
/
ORDER DENYING PLAINTIFF’S “MOTION TO RECUSE/DISQUALIFY”
Plaintiff, who is proceeding pro se, has now filed the fourth in a series of motions
seeking the recusal or disqualification of the assigned judge. (Pl.’s Mot.
Recuse/Disqualify, Dkt. # 3; Pl.’s Mot. Amend/Correct, Dkt. # 19; Pl.’s Mot. Alter, Dkt.
# 30; Pl.’s 2d Mot. Recuse/Disqualify, Dkt. # 53; accord Letter from Pl., Dkt. # 20.)
Plaintiff’s previous motions were denied with detailed analysis. (See Order Den. Pl.’s
Mot. Recuse, May 31, 2012, Dkt. # 14; Order Den. Pl.’s Mot. Amend/Correct, June 14,
2012, Dkt. # 23; Order Den. Pl.’s Mot. Alter, July 9, 2012, Dkt. # 39.) Plaintiff presents
nothing new here, merely reference to routine orders recently entered. There is no
substance to Plaintiff’s motion, and no response, hearing, or further elaboration from the
court is required. For the same reasons carefully explained in the court’s earlier denials
of essentially the same motion,

IT IS ORDERED that Plaintiff’s “Motion to Recuse/Disqualify” [Dkt. # 53] is
DENIED.
