ORDER
All active service district judges in this district are recused from presiding over this case. Accordingly, the case shall be referred to the District of Maine; sitting by designation.

I therefore concur in the assignment of a magistrate judge from the designated district to perform the duties specified in 28 U.S.C. §636(a) - (c). SO ORDERED.
