EDMONDSON v. LILLISTON FORD, INC. et al

Filing 144

OPINION. Signed by Judge Renee Marie Bumb on 4/27/2018. (tf, )

[Dkt. No. 142]
IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF NEW JERSEY
CAMDEN VICINAGE

SARA ANN EDMONDSON,
Plaintiff,

Civil No. 13-7704 (RMB/JS)
OPINION

v.
LILLISTON FORD, INC.,
Defendant.

This matter comes before the Court upon Plaintiff Sara Ann
Edmondson’s Motion to Disqualify pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 144
[Dkt. No. 142].

This is the Plaintiff’s fifth motion to

disqualify this Court [Dkt. Nos. 32, 49, 51, 75, and 142].
For the reasons expressed by this Court in its earlier Opinions,
the Plaintiff’s Motion to Disqualify is DENIED.

Plaintiff

continues to assert that this Court has a “personal bias or
prejudice sufficient to mandate disqualification” [Dkt. 142, at
page 8].

Specifically, Plaintiff accuses this Court of a

personal bias against her based solely upon this Court’s adverse
rulings.

This Court has repeatedly stated this is not a basis

for a recusal.
To the extent that Plaintiff’s motion seeks to set aside
the judgment under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 60(b)(6), the

1

Court will enter an Order directing Plaintiff to set forth the
reasons why Plaintiff believes she is entitled to relief from
this Court’s judgment which was affirmed by the Court of Appeals
for the Third Circuit on January 11, 2018.

[Dkt. No. 138].

Any

rehashing of the same arguments that Plaintiff has made over the
course of this protracted litigation will not be a basis to set
aside the judgment.

The Court warns Plaintiff that she may be

subject to sanctions by this Court if she continues to pursue
the same arguments that have been rejected by this Court and the
Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit.
