ORDER OF RECUSAL
REQUEST FOR REASSIGNMENT

This matter is before the court on the court's own motion pursuant to 28 U.S.C.
§ 455(a), which states: "Any . . . judge . . . of the United States shall disqualify [her]self in
any proceeding in which [her] impartiality might reasonably be questioned.” The Plaintiffs,
Applied Underwriters, Inc. and Applied Risk Services, Inc., have filed their Disclosure of
Corporate Affiliations (Filing No. 7) advising that ten percent or more of its stock is owned
by Berkshire Hathaway, an entity on my recusal list. Therefore, the undersigned judge
shall, and hereby does, recuse herself from the above-designated case pursuant to 28
U.S.C. § 455(a).
SO ORDERED.
DATED this 29th day of June, 2015.
