ORDER OF RECUSAL
On June 1, 2018, the undersigned United States Magistrate Judge held a telephonic
conference in this matter with counsel for the parties and Plaintiff Thomas Burrell. During the
conference the undersigned disclosed having formerly represented, in private practice, a witness
whom the parties agree is a key player in this litigation. Despite no party having any objection
to my continued assignment to the case, upon further reflection, the undersigned, nevertheless,
feels it is appropriate to recuse pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 455(a). Accordingly, the Clerk is
directed to assign this case to another Magistrate Judge.
This, the 4th day of June, 2018.

/s/ Jane M. Virden
U. S. MAGISTRATE JUDGE
